Minty Hot Chocolate

Cost: $2.80. You can add the peppermint syrup for an additional 50 cents.

What it is: The Starbucks version of hot chocolate contains steamed milk, vanilla, and mocha-flavored syrup. But for an added kick, add the peppermint syrup to remind of you Christmas! The barista also recommends adding the toffee nut, caramel, or raspberry if peppermint is not your thing.

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

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).
