What is a cheap, non-coffee (or very little coffee) drink to get at starbucks?

Even "tricks" are fine, like the kind where you buy something and add other stuff yourself.

cheap and starbucks in the same sentence-HA.
You could buy plain coffee, but their coffee sucks, that’s why they have to put all that stuff into it. To make it palatable. Even their cookies and pastries are dry. Probably so’s you’ll wash it down with the nasty coffee stuff. Get a cup of hot tap water and take your own tea bag.
I think the chai tea is pretty good. They add milk and sugar to it, and it’s like green tea with cinnamon in it. So, it only has about 1/4 the caffeine as the coffee (or maybe less – they make some pretty strong coffee).
honestly i love the vanilla bean. non coffe but almosat like a shake but better tasting in a different kind of way (:
you could always try chocolate coffe haha
hot chocolate
strawberries n cream…
all yummy!!
i don’t know if its cheap but they have hot chocolate
well, the only ones i can think of right now are cold drinks.
You can get a medium passion tea lemonade for about 2 bucks and strawberry blended lemonade is about the same price for the same size too.
by the way, the prices at starbucks are about the same as other places. Its not more expensive. I paid 3.15 for a regular latte today at my college and its the same price at starbucks for the same size (medium)
Iced Passion Tea Lemonade and Iced Zen Tea Lemonade is the cheapest non-coffee drink in starbucks other then fresh brewed coffee and tea… and steamed milk.
Perhaps you can try steamed milk with vanilla, it’s called vanilla creme or vanilla steamer…
I agree that the teas are probably the cheapest drinks there that are mostly non-coffee. With tax, a Venti (largest) size is 2.27 here in Az. My personal favorite is the Iced Passion Tea with rasberry syrup instead of classic (they don’t charge you more if your drink already comes with syrup, you can add extra pumps, too, if you like it sweeter).
You can take your pick from many different "hot" teas, and have them put over ice, too, if that sounds good. Add lemonade or apple juice, too.
Oh, they have the caramel apple spice, too, which is SO yummy… Cinnamon Dolce, steamed apple juice, whip cream, and caramel on top. Sorry, not sure on the price for that one.
Tips: Order your frappuccino as a grande, and ask for it in a Venti cup, you might get more frappuccino as they don’t have to save some room for the whip cream. Also, you can order a Venti drink and ask for it to be put into two tall cups, which is cheaper than ordering 2 talls…
