How to save over $100 each month on Starbucks coffee

I came up with an easy way to save over $100 each month for my favorite coffee drinks and I want to share it with you :)  I love caramel in my coffee and one of my seasonal faves in Starbucks Salted Caramel Mocha or Salted Caramel Mochas.
Heat 1 cup milk. Add your favorite instant coffee(I was on the go so I used a Starbucks VIA packet but any instant coffee will do) Add 1/4 packet (or about 2 Tablespoons)Hot Cocoa Mix. Unwrap a delicious Trader Joe's Fleur De Sel Caramel (or 2 if you want it really caramelly) and place in cup. Carefully pour the hot milk,coffee and cocoa mixture on top of the caramel in the mug.  The heat of the liquid will quickly melt the caramel.  Stir and ENJOY!   Mmmmmmmmmm......
What's your favorite at home drink creation?

Stop by your local Starbucks and ask for your free Tall Hazelnut or Caramel Macchiato by 03/31/13.  Be sure to call your local Starbucks to make sure they are participating before you make the drive there.  Some stores are handing our a certain number of these coupons each day. You can ask for them or  mention "Code 350" and they should know what you mean.  I simply went through my local drive thru and showed them the code on my cellphone.  I tried the new Hazelnut Macchiato and it was YUMMMMY!  I've been told there are some stores that require a purchase in order to receive the FREE tall Macchiato.  No problem, Starbucks has this cute reusable cup for only $1!
