We all know that our coffee obsession with Starbucks is no joke - monetarily speaking. If you are a certified coffee addict, one, two or even three cups of caffeinated drink is not enough.

1. Use your Starbucks reusable tumbler (or a paper cup from their competitors) and have your drink 10 cents less.

We bet you didn't know about this. Starbucks loves their customers and they are also committed to helping save the environment. Hence, they encourage patrons to bring in their personal cups or tumblers as replacements to their plastic/paper cups.

More so, if you present a cup from a coffee competitor, your friendly barista will refill your cup with their coffee with 10 cents discount. Don't believe us? See for yourself!

If you think about it, you can save up to 73 bucks per year if you are an avid twice-a-day-coffee-drinker.

2. If you happen to be at Starbucks just to buy a bottle of water, spend zero bucks by ordering for a "water cup". 

You can even ask for it in a tall, grande or venti cup! No charge for it, it's guaranteed.

3. Order a venti drink with your friend and divide it into two tall drinks!

A single order of a venti Frappuccino costs up to $4.95 and a tall can cost $3.95. By splitting a venti, you're getting a tall-size Frappuccino for about a dollar less than you normally would. You might even win yourself a coffee buddy!

4. Ask for Ice on the Side

Ice almost eat up half the volume of your cup, meaning if you remove the ice, your drink is just about ¾ or a half of the container. By doing so, you can leave more room for coffee/milk (or even froth, of you may) and get the real value of what you're paying for! You can enjoy your not-watered-down drink longer.

 5. Tall in a grande

Request that your order a tall size drink is poured into a grande cup, especially if you are ordering drinks such as a latte or a macchiato, which need room for milk. So you'll get the full amount of a tall sized coffee, and use the excess room for milk.

6. DIY Latte

If you just want a latte, simply order two or three shots of espresso-hot or over ice on a tall or grande cup. Since milk is available at the condiments counter, pour some milk and make yourself a latte-ala legit barista!

7. Did you know about the Shorts?

Though this cup option is not on the menu board, Starbucks offers a much smaller cup size than tall the short cup. If you are up just for the caffeine, order a short cappuccino. It has the same amount of caffeine as with the tall one, but definitely cheaper. It will give you that kick, for less moolah.

8. Know about the caffeine.

If you want a Starbucks concoction for your daily dose of caffeine, consider this chart and let it serve as your guide on what to order. Take note that almost drink regardless of the cup size, has the same amount of caffeine in it.

9. Iced tea with no ice

To maximize the flavor of your favorite tea drink from Starbucks, order it without water, meaning just pure tea concentrate. Just ask for a separate cup of ice and add as you please.

10. Enjoy the rewards

Starbucks has a very generous rewards program that entitles every card holder and member to have one free drink every after 12 drinks! So imagine if you drink coffee every day that's two freebies per month!
