Until Wednesday, stop by Starbucks Canada and pick up a package of the new Blonde Roast coffee and you’ll get any handcrafted drink for free!

• Click here to find a Starbucks location

The new Blonde Roast coffee is lighter bodied and has a more mellow flavour than the traditional Starbucks blends. The Starbucks Veranda Blend has flavours of cocoa and toasted nuts and the Starbucks Willow Blend is said to have light and easy to drink flavours (and it’s also available in decaf).

You must buy a 16 oz bag of Starbucks Blonde Roast Coffee or Starbucks VIA Veranda Blend 12 pack to get a free handcrafted beverage.

I’ve been wanting to try this new Blonde Roast coffee as I find Starbucks coffee to be too strong and bitter to drink on it’s own. I think I’ll appreciate the mellowness of this new blend – and the free drink is a great incentive to try it this week!

Expires: 8th February, 2012

If you like Starbucks Canada, you’ll love this offer! Use your Visa Card to reload your Starbucks Card online with $25 or more, and get a $5 reward added to your Starbucks Card account!

This offer is valid through 7th February, 2012 and you will see the $5 reward in your Starbucks Card account the week of 13th February, 2012.

Why use a Starbucks card? It’s convenient, and you can earn Starbucks Rewards and get special treats, like a free drink on your birthday!

I like Starbucks A LOT, so I have to limit my Starbucks budget so it doesn’t get out of hand. I can reload my Starbucks card at the beginning of each month and when it runs out of money, that’s it until the next month! The bonus $5 means an extra drink this month!

Expires: 7th February, 2012

Safeway Canada has an awesome deal happening until the end of the month at their in store Starbucks locations. After 2 pm, get $2 Grande Fall drinks with your Safeway Club Card.

• Click here to find a Safeway

Offer available at participating Safeway Starbucks locations.

The yummy Fall drinks you can choose from are: Pumpkin Spice Latte, Salted Caramel Mocha, and Tazo Chai Tea Latte.

I am a dedicated Tazo Chai Tea Latte, it’s definitely my go to drink at Starbucks. Getting one for $2 will mean a couple of stops at Safeway this weekend!

I love that you can find Starbucks inside Safeway, it’s such a nice way to grocery shop with a warm drink in hand.

If you haven’t yet tried the VIA instant coffee from Starbucks, here’s an offer you might want to take advantage of. Until 31st October, buy any package of Starbucks VIA  and if you don’t love it, Starbucks will replace it with a 12 0z bag of coffee!

• Click here to find a Starbucks near you

• Click here for the mail in offer form

You can find the packages of Starbucks VIA at your local grocery store or at Starbucks stores. There is a limit of one Starbucks VIA Taste Promise request per household per year. This offer is not valid in Quebec.

Proof of purchase will be required, so don’t ditch those receipts. You should allow 6-8 weeks for delivery of your Starbucks House Blend ground coffee (12 oz/340g).

On the Canadian redemption form, it says that the offer excludes Starbucks VIA 3, 7, 10 and 12 count packs. However, on the email I got from Starbucks, it specifically says Starbucks Ready brew 3 Packs excluded, and makes no mention of any other sizes.

I think I’d like the VIA Iced-Coffee. But I’d be willing to try the other available blends, especially with this no risk guarantee! I definitely know I like the regular coffee!

Starbucks has launched a new, free Rewards Program in Canada. My Starbucks Rewards is a program that rewards customers for visiting Starbucks.

• Click here to find a Starbucks near you

To join My Starbucks Rewards,  create an account and activate and register at least one Starbucks Card to your account worth $5 or more, either in store on online .

If you already have a registered Starbucks Card that you have used within the last two years and are a current member of Starbucks Card Rewards, you will be automatically enrolled in the Green Level of My Starbucks Rewards and you’ve probably received an email with program information.

You can earn rewards by using your activated card to pay for your order at Starbucks. You’ll get one Star for each visit.

There are three levels in My Starbucks Rewards depending on the number of Stars in your account.

In the first Welcome Level, you’ll get a postcard for a free beverage of your choice as a birthday gift. To move up to the second Green Level, you’ll have to make 5 visits in one year. The Green level offers everything from the Welcome Level, free beverage customization (free select syrups and soy/lactose free milk), unlimited in store refills on brewed coffee or tea, and free tall beverage of choice when you buy one pound of Whole Bean Starbucks Coffee. You’ll also receive special email offers.

After 30 visits in one year, you’ll move up to The Gold Level. Here you’ll get everything from the Welcome and Green Levels as well as a personalized Starbucks Card, additional offers and coupons through email, and a free drink of choice after 15 additional visits.

• Click here for all the info on this Rewards program

If you are a frequent Starbucks visitor, this free program will definitely benefit you. Just for the free birthday drink alone, it’s worth buying a $5 Starbucks card!

I’m a little scared to see how many stars I’ll reach in one year. Starbucks is definitely somewhere I just can’t resist. Love, love, love the Chai Lattes there! Oh, and the frappacinos aren’t too bad either

Half price Frappucinos are back at Starbucks from May 6-15 from 3-5 pm.

Try the new Mocha Coconut Frappucino. Listen to this description,

Rich mocha sauce and coconut-flavored syrup blended with coffee, fresh milk, and ice. Topped with sweetened whipped cream, mocha drizzle and toasted coconut flakes.

Yum! I’ll definitely try this one! I’m sure we’ll be there more than once for this promo!

(Expires 15 May)

Did you know that if you use your travel mug at Starbucks throughout the year, you’ll save $0.10 off your drink? That’s a good way to entice customers to reduce waste. Now, if it was $1 off, I might actually do it all year long!

(Expires 22 April 2011)

Happy 40th Anniversary Starbucks! In honour of this occasion, Starbucks is rolling out some new products and unveiling a new logo on 8 March 2011.

Some of the new items you can look forward to at Starbucks include:

• Cocoa Cappuccino, a blend of espresso, bittersweet mocha sauce, steamed milk and foam, topped with mocha drizzle.

Last time Starbucks had this offer, I tried the Tazo Vanilla Rooibos Tea Latte, and I didn’t like it. The nice thing about Starbucks is that they let me exchange it for a Tazo Chai Tea Latte at no extra charge. I think I’ll just stick with the Chai Tea Latte this time around, it’s my absolute favourite. I might just have to visit more than once to get both the hot version and the iced one.

Starbucks wants you to enjoy 50% off Tea Lattés from the 7th to the 16th of January 2011 from 2-5pm only.

I am a committed Tazo Chai Latte drinker. Without a doubt, this is my favourite beverage from Starbucks.  I haven’t tried the Tazo Vanilla Rooibos Tea Latte yet. It’s described as, “An infusion of rooibos, steamed milk, syrup, vanilla and cinnamon, topped with velvety foam.” Who can resist that? Sounds like heaven to me!

Starbucks didn’t get it’s nickname “Fourbucks” for no reason, so if you’ve been holding off trying a new tea latte, this could be the time to try a new one! I think I might be stopping by for tea time everyday during this promotion. Nothing better than tea time in the afternoon!

For a few days only (18th to 21st November 2010 between 2pm and 5pm), Starbucks Canada is offering buy 1 get 1 free on their ranges of holiday drinks.

• Peppermint Hot Chocolate
• Gingerbread Latte
• Eggnog Latte

I’ve never had any of these flavours before! I might go and try out the Peppermint hot chocolate as that sounds delicious. I might make a coffee date with my friend and try out this deal.

(Even though I spotted this deal a few days ago but waited to today to schedule it, thanks to Bargainmoosers Aimee, Julie, Meagan and Shiela for emailing me!)

Do you have any recommendations from the above list?

Here we have a buy 1 get 1 free coupon, which you can use to get a free Starbucks Doubleshot drink when you buy one there.

There are 4 flavours to choose from – Mocha, Vanilla, Coffee, and Vanilla Light.

You do have to install a Smartsource printer application on your computer to get this one printed out (which is a bit annoying, but I can live with it for a good deal). If you are going to do that, make sure your printer is set up and set as the default printer on your computer before you start. I have my default output as printing to pdf, and the Smartsource coupon program didn’t like that.

Thanks to Peter from e-offerz for emailing this deal. Even though the coupon website seems US based, Peter successfully used this coupon in Vancouver yesterday, so we should be good to go.

Bargainmooser Jeanine emailed me last night with word on a new deal from Starbucks. If you register with them online, they will send you a coupon for a free tall cup of Pike Place roast coffee!

I don’t usually drink the regular coffee from Starbucks, as I am not a big coffee drinker at all. I am in love with the frapuccinos though… I could drink those all day, until my brain freezes up!

If you manage to score this free coffee, it would be great to hear from you in the comments below.

Thanks Jeanine!

From the 7th of May until 16th May 2010, enjoy a frappucino at participating Starbucks for half price.

• Click here for a Starbucks location near you

Between the hours of 3-5pm from May 7 to May 16, 2010, Starbucks custom made Frappucinos are half price. While it may seem picky to have a super long order with non-fats, no-sugar, extra syrup, or no whip cream, the whole idea of custom made Starbucks drinks is so you get exactly what you want. Create your own drinks before hand so your frappucino is exactly the way you like it.
