To start, I can't imagine anyone with a Starbucks addition won't have this already but, just in case - register for their rewards program to get your first free $5

I'm averaging 2 free drinks per month on their rewards program. Free drink on your birthday. You don't have to remember the postcard anymore, it goes right to your account so just tell the barista. They'll apply the freebie to the highest priced drink or food item (read the fine print for anything peculiar). They also run specials to get an extra drink for a free for less than the usual 12 drinks.
Watch the coupon sites, every so often a new daily deal site (i.e. Living Social) will offer a $5 Starbucks for signup. Another place I frequent regularly are the discounted gift card sites. The best discount has been on Raise.com. Many times its over 20% off The cards are usually higher value, i.e. spend $80 for a $100 card - but that's a great savings. Its a better percentage than putting your money into other cards. If you're going to Starbucks no matter what, use your cash on that card instead of trying to find a discount card for WM or gas (anywhere from 1-5%)
BTW - I used Endrose on my phone. You can your receipts based on offers. I actually got a small amount for scanning in my Starbucks receipt on morning. I also got $1 back the other day from my Taco Bell purchase. This is a nice to have program (android or iPhone), you never know when you might get cash back on one of your everyday purchases. Please use my referral link so I can buy my Starbucks!!
