Save Money at Starbucks

A classic off-the-menu item, which Harford discusses on Slate, is the short cup at Starbucks coffee shops. Most Starbucks coffee is sold in one of three sizes advertised on its menu and Web site: tall, grande and venti. But you can also ask for a short cup, which at 8 ounces is 33% smaller than the 12-ounce tall.

You'll save about 30 cents on a cappuccino or a latte this way, but the real payoff is in the taste: The short cup offers a more concentrated espresso flavor.

You can also buy cheaper Starbucks coffee by the pound on this website Coffee Beans At Coffee For Less.com
