How to get Starbucks VENTI Coffees for < $1

Did you know that you can get Starbucks Venti size (LARGE!) coffee for only $1 a cup?

Today, I went in to my local Starbucks and used a prepaid Starbucks card for my purchase. By using a registered pre-paid card at Starbucks, they apparently give you free flavoring and free milk options in your coffee.

And another bonus: hey also give you free refills on brewed coffee.

So for $1.95, I got 2 full Venti cups of Pike's Place Soy Hazelnut coffee today...

That's less than 1 dollar a cup.

You laugh, but this is serious $$ for some people. Saving $0.75-$1+ a day on the flavors + milk each time you go into Starbucks can translates into literally HUNDREDS of dollars saved over a year.

All you need is to get a pre-paid Starbucks card - one of those plastic gift-cards sitting at the counter and then ask them to load any amount onto it - even as little as a buck. But the KEY is to REGISTER the card on starbucks.com -- it also allows you to get a replacement card with balance intact if you loose your cards somewhere.

When asking for a refill, just present the registered pre-paid card and ask for a free refill -- and they'll quickly swipe it and give you the refill or top off your coffee before you leave the store with no hassles.

Suddenly, the Starbucks habit doesn't seem so ridiculous on the wallet...
