Costco Now Has Starbucks' Famous Pink Drink for Half the Price

Slurping down Starbucks can become an expensive habit, but if you've been craving its famous Pink Drink, there is excellent news out of Costco — they've got the sweet treat available in bulk now for just half the price.

If you've been craving that strawberry and açaí refreshing flavor blended with coconut milk for smooth, creamy perfection, you'll want to stop at Costco.

According to fans, the bottled beverage is nearly identical to the in-store version, but it can still be a pricey habit at just under $4 a bottle when bought individually. A 12-pack of 14-ounce bottles runs about $40 on Amazon, but that's still more than $3 per bottle.

Costco's dozen contains smaller servings, with only eight ounces per bottle, and it costs $18.99. See what other Starbucks brand products you can save money by purchasing at Costco .

Price: $22.99

Some mornings need a shot of espresso to get you going, and the Starbucks canned version offers the perfect blend of cream to counter the bite of espresso.

An identical pack from Amazon is currently $20.98, though, so Costco needs to up its game on this pricing.

Price: $36.99

The ever-creeping longer nights tell us winter is coming, and you'll want to be prepared with rich, velvety, smooth hot cocoa with decadent notes of dark chocolate.

An identical pack costs $33.19 on Amazon right now, but based on their pricing history, it's likely to increase as winter approaches.

3. Starbucks Classic Roasts Variety Pack K-Cup Pod, 64-count

Price: $40.99

If you like to mix it up every morning with your coffee roast, the K-Cup variety pack features 16 cups each of four popular Starbucks blends.

Comparatively, the same pack runs between $38 and $51 on Amazon, so if you love your Keurig, you'll want to stock up on these at Costco.

Price: $32.99

If you've ditched the Keurig for a Nespresso, you can still enjoy a variety pack of Starbucks original roasts.

This is less expensive than the Amazon options, so single-serve coffee pods are best purchased at Costco for the most savings.

5. Starbucks VIA Instant Colombia Coffee, Medium Roast, 26-count

Price: $18.49

Starbucks instant coffee packs are perfect for stashing in a purse or glovebox in the event of a "coffee-mergency." Just drop into a cup of hot water, and you'll have the best instant coffee on the market.

Amazon offers different box counts. However, they are all slightly more than grabbing it wholesale at Costco.

Bottom line

Costco is definitely the place to shop for the best deal on Starbucks' Pink Drinks, but some of the other branded products they offer from the coffee giant aren't quite the best deal available for retail shoppers. A few extra dollars may not seem like much, but if you're trying to tackle the high cost of groceries , then every dollar counts.

Money tips that can work for everyone

No matter what your bank account balance is, there's always an opportunity to optimize and improve your finances. Here's a quick checklist of things you can look at today.

Focus on paying off your debt . Debt can hold you back from making progress with your overall financial well-being. Aside from cutting expenses, there are tools that can help you pay off debt faster like balance transfer credit cards and debt counseling.

Earning extra income can give you breathing room. If finances are tight, earning some extra money to supplement your income can make a huge difference. A new job is one option to consider, but if you're not ready to make a big change or already retired, a part-time side job could be a better choice.

Cut your expenses. It sounds painful and so not fun, but it doesn't have to be. Take a look at your biggest expenses because that's where you'll probably find the biggest savings. For example, auto insurance rates have been soaring so shopping around for a new insurance company can be the fastest way to cut your bill. Also, look for ways to cut your grocery bill (despite rising inflation).
