I could obviously tell you to skip the over-priced coffee… but I am not that cruel, yet. However, one way that I learned how to cut the price of that coffee and still get a fairly close enough taste of the real thing is to ask for a “americano, with such and such syrup added (cinnamon dulce, anyone?) with room for cream” and it saves about $1 per visit. If you only go in once a week, *cough* *cough*, over the course of a year, you have successfully save $52 and earned 4 free drinks that you can easily get the loaded sugar-coffee with.
