My Field Trip to StarBucks

Video of my trip to Starbucks where I learned all about the ways to save dough at the store (their VIA coffee- total awesomeness). It was the store on 34th and 5th (which has to be the most fabulous Starbucks I’ve ever been to, better than the one in Earl’s Court in London).

Tips for Saving Money
1. Buy a reusable cup and save $.10 for every refill
2. Buy whole beans (saves you money) and Starbucks will grind it for free
3. Get the Instant Coffee
4. Get a membership crd and register it to receive free refills, free internet, etc.

And….For the first time I am going to share my special Starbucks drink

The Budget Fashionista
- 1/3rd Lemonade
- 1/3rd Shaken Black tea
- 1/3rd Apple juice
- 3 packs of Splenda
- Medium ice.

Make sure they add the splenda (not you) for some reason it makes a big difference in terms of taste.
