How to Save a Few Bucks at Starbucks

starbucks-logo.jpgFrom now until September 2, you can get a Starbucks grande cold drink for just $2 -- provided you buy it after 2 p.m. and show your receipt from your morning coffee purchase.

Let's not use this time to debate the quality (or lack thereof) of Starbucks coffee, the ubiquity of Starbucks stores, or the sky-high calorie count of certain drinks. That's been done, no? Instead, let's admit that some folks hit their local Starbucks at least twice per day, and that this promotion is a pretty good deal if you frequently drop 4 bucks on your afternoon fix. In fact, if that's a daily occurrence, you'll be $10 richer at the end of the week.

Meanwhile, in case you missed it, you can now get free Wi-Fi at Starbucks -- another reason to stop in for an iced latte. [via Reuters]
