If your Starbucks bills seem to be lower despite inflation, you’re not going crazy.

On the menu of the coffee chain, a grande Caramel Frappuccino is listed at around $5.65 and a grande brewed coffee is about $3.65. 

But these days, customers are getting their drinks for half the price.

The beloved coffee chain has long abstained from offering deals, but with inflation driving people away from cafés and to their at-home coffee machines, Starbucks has begun to dish out deals on a regular basis.
