Coffee

When ordering a frappuccino at Starbucks don't order by the promotional name, think like a barista and order its components. For example, next time you want a raspberry mocha frappuccino order a "mocha frappuccino with a shot of raspberry." You will get the same drink 10-20% cheaper.

Welcome to Starbucks, may I please take your order? Yes, I'll have an iced doppio in a venti cup please. Sure, that'll be $x.xx. Now take your iced doppio to the coffee bar and get all the free milk you need to make that iced latte or cappuccino. You just saved $2+ that you can use for tomorrow's coffee break. Can you say twofer?

Refills at RaceTrac gas stations cost $0.52. A RaceTrac mug, which comes with 5 free refills, costs $2.02 on special. Five refills in your personal mug costs 5 * $0.52 = $2.60. Instead, buy the RaceTrac mug and use the card provided for your 5 refills anytime you like. You just made $0.58. Stupid gas stations...
