It’s back at Starbucks Canada! The Starbucks Treat Receipt promo is back and can I just say, it is one of my favourite times of year at Starbucks (next to Frappucino Happy Hour) as it makes it so that your afternoon grande sized hot or cold beverage is just $3. This deal only really makes sense if you were to get a more extravagant drink for your afternoon treat, i.e. a grande size pike place would not make sense since these are already under $3.

The best way to take advantage of this offer from Starbucks, is to go in the morning and grab the cheapest menu item you can find (the oat bars are usually around a dollar, and would cover your breakfast as well) or even a short medium-roast, which is also around a dollar (depending upon the taxes in your province). Keep your receipt from the morning, before 11:30am, and then bring it in again in the afternoon after 2pm and order the biggest and best drink you can find on the menu.

My recommendations include, a solo, grande, extra-hot, Tazo Chai latte (the solo adds an extra shot of espresso to the drink, which is usually an extra $0.60 but will be nixed as all grande size beverages are $3 standard). Or, if you’re brave enough to sip on something cold, then you could really make your money back by ordering a grande size frappucino, which are normally the bigger ticket items at Starbucks.

The treat receipt offer at Starbucks is only on for a limited time, so take advantage while you can!
