Deal – Half off Starbucks Frappuccinos (til MAY15)

Posted on by

0

UPDATE: Just got back. This deal is legit. So for the Coconut Mocha Frap, they just take some toasted coconut and shake it into a regular Mocha Frap, then blend it all together. I always ask for mine w/ the whipped cream blended in, for a richer consistency. None on top. Sure beats swirling your straw and getting dirty. Our Venti Frap came out to $2.96 total. Verdict? It was a bit bitter but solid overall if you don’t mind biting into bits of coconut. Our friend compared it to drinking a Mounds bar. (Remember those?) Anyway, I’d get it again. Even took a pic for you guys :)

If you regularly need an afternoon pick-me-up but that office coffee is too hot for the season, you’re in luck.

Today through May 15, visit your local Starbucks from 3-5 p.m. for Frappuccino happy hour and enjoy Frappuccino blended beverages, any flavor and any size, at half-price. Back by popular demand, Starbucks is offering the mocha coconut Frappuccino blended beverage for a limited-time this summer. Or if you’re caffeine-free try the coconut crème Frappuccino blended beverage.

At participating Starbucks stores.
