There are always ways to save money at Starbucks, so even if there isn’t a cracking deal out there that works for you, don’t assume you can’t cut your costs further.

Ways to save include:

• Offers for Starbucks rewards card holders. If you pick up a freeStarbucks gift card (it doubles as your reward card) in store, you can register it online to load it with money, eg £5, which you can then use to purchase drinks at Starbucks. With each drink you purchase using the card or the app you'll get one star, and when you've 15 you'll be emailed a voucher for a free drink. You'll also be emailed other offers from time to time, eg, 50% off drinks or breakfast items. See full T&Cs.
• 25p off if you use a reusable cup. If you bring a reusable cup, you can get 25p off your drink. It doesn't have to be a Starbucks cup, but it helps if it's a similar size to those offered by Starbucks. The cheapest reusable cup sold by Starbucks is £1, so if you'll use it more than four times you'll have made your money back.
• Check out similar coffee chains. If you’re not committed to Starbucks, see our Caffè Nero and Costa Coffee pages, where you may find a better deal. Also check out our free tea and coffee page to see if you could get your beverage free elsewhere.
• Had a problem with Starbucks? There’s a free online tool you can use to complain – it helps draft, manage and if necessary escalate your complaint. It’s offered by a firm called Resolver, which we like so much we work with it to help people get complaints justice – you can use it to complain to Starbucks*.
