If you're looking to spend a little less at Starbucks, then there are plenty of cheaper options. (We always love opportunities that make the most of our money.) But if you want something unique and aren't willing to splurge, then what? Well, you can still be daring and opt for creative options that aren't always advertised on the menu.

Here are a few awesome drinks shared with us by a Starbucks barista who wishes to stay anonymous.

Note: Prices are for tall-sized drinks. Prices and selection may differ in different geographic locations.

Oooh, an iced coffee with coconut syrup sounds delicious right now. And much cheaper than a Frappuccino.

The raspberry passion tea lemonade sounds like the perfect afternoon pick me up on a long summer day!

If you go to Starbucks even semi-regularly, register a gift card. Once you use it 5 times, you move to green status, which means you get free syrup added and free soy milk upgrade. It also gives: Free refills on brewed or iced coffee or tea during the same store visit, Free tall (12 fl oz) beverage with one pound of whole bean coffee purchase, and Special exclusive offers and coupons. If you earn 30 stars in 1 year , you move to Gold Status where every 15 drinks gets you a free drink postcard. You just need 30 drinks a year to keep your Gold Status. The key is to do individual transactions for drinks to earn a star for each. The registered card brings my Venti Cinnamon Dolce Frappuccino down to about $4 (soy is free and because they don't have a button for a CD Frapp, they ring it in as a Coffee Frappuccino, add CD, which makes the syrup free).
