15 Things to Never Buy at Starbucks

Global coffee aficionados recognize Starbucks' green mermaid logo. As the world's biggest coffee chain, it's a popular source of caffeine, but some items should be avoided.

Bottled Water

Getting a water bottle on-the-go at Starbucks isn't worth it as it's pricier than other stores. Save money by bringing a refillable bottle instead.

Tall Lattes

Starbucks' smallest size - "the tall" - isn't the best value. Opt for a Grande or Venti instead for more bang for your buck. Your health and wallet will thank you.

Iced Tea

Starbucks' iced tea often disappoints customers due to its watered-down taste. It's advisable to opt for hot tea or try another brand.

Cold Brew

Starbucks' cold brew is often viewed as bitter and overpriced. Making cold brew at home can save you money.

Bottled Frappuccino’s

Bottled Frappuccino, like bottled water, is overpriced and unhealthy due to its high sugar content and artificial ingredients.

Breakfast Sandwiches

Starbucks' breakfast sandwiches are convenient but overpriced and lacking in nutrition. Particularly, the bacon and sausage options. Opt for a healthier, more substantial start to your day.

Coffee Beans

Beware before buying Starbucks coffee beans for home. They are often pricier than other brands. You can find better and cheaper quality coffee beans elsewhere.

Protein Boxes

Starbucks sells protein boxes of meat, cheese, and fruits. Despite seeming healthy, they're costly. Making your own fresh ingredients box is a better option.

Espresso Drinks

Starbucks espresso drinks like lattes and cappuccinos are popular but pricey. Make these drinks at home with an espresso machine or a more affordable drip coffee.

Matcha Latte

Starbucks' trendy matcha latte might look good on Instagram, but customers criticize its overly sweet flavor, lack of authenticity, and high price.

Salad Bowls

Starbucks' salad bowls often have high-sugar, high-calorie dressings. Plus, they're costly for the quantity provided. Making your own salad at home is healthier.

Flavored Syrups

Want to add flavor to your coffee? Don't fall for Starbucks' overpriced syrups packed with sugar and artificial ingredients. Use natural sweeteners like honey or agave at home.

Pumpkin Spice Latte

Starbucks' Pumpkin Spice Latte is overhyped with high sugar, artificial ingredients. A homemade version using real pumpkin puree and natural sweeteners is healthier.

Pastries

Starbucks' bakery offers tempting high calorie and sugar treats like cookies and muffins. Indulging in homemade treats is a healthier alternative.

Teavana Shaken Iced Tea

Despite being advertised as healthy, Starbucks' sweetened Teavana Shaken Iced Tea can be high in sugar. Choose unsweetened or make homemade iced tea for a healthier, cost-saving option.
