Money Tips

The Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte has returned to menu boards. Along with the PSL and new fall drinks, you'll also see Starbucks fall cups on shelves (including a new Starbucks x Stanley collab in a sparkly olive green color).

Drink prices have certainly not gone down in recent months, but it will be possible to get the PSL for free or at a 50% discount with Stars and promos.

Check for current Starbucks coupons and offers to get deals on these fall drinks. We often see BOGO free drinks, half-price discounts, and Triple Star days — getting you closer to free drinks or even free Starbucks cups.

When Do Pumpkin Spice Lattes Come Back to Starbucks?

They're back! The Pumpkin Spice Latte returned to Starbucks on Thursday, Aug. 22, 2024. The lineup was announced via press release on Aug. 21. Per our sources, baristas were told not to serve pumpkin-flavored syrup before the official launch date. So you might be waiting in a pretty long drive-thru line to get yours.

The full fall Phase One lineup also arrived on Aug. 22. In mid-September you’ll see another drop featuring Starbucks Halloween items.

Here are the other limited-time offerings currently on the Starbucks fall menu (and the prices we predict):

Starbucks Fall Menu Item	Price (Grande Drinks)
Mummy Cookie	$3.25 (Predicted, out Sept.)
Raccoon Cake Pop	$3.45
Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin	$3.95
Baked Apple Croissant	$3.95
Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew	$5.45
Salted Pecan Cream Cold Brew	$5.45 (Predicted, out Sept.)
Pumpkin Spice Latte	$6.25
Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai	$6.25
Iced Pumpkin Spice Latte	$6.45
Iced Apple Crisp Cream Chai	$6.25
Iced Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso	$6.25
Apple Crisp Oatmilk Macchiato	$6.45
Iced Pecan Crunch Oatmilk Latte	$6.25 (Predicted, out Sept.)

How to Get the PSL for Free

The easiest way to get a free Pumpkin Spice Latte at Starbucks is to use 200 Stars from your Starbucks Rewards account. Order on the app and opt to use 200 Stars at checkout. If you’re ordering in person, let your barista know you’ll be exchanging Stars for your free drink.

To get the best deal on a grande Pumpkin Spice Latte, order on the half-off discount day. The 50% discount is one of the best we see all year from Starbucks. However, for venti sizes, the $3 drink promo is a slightly better value — you’ll save 50.4%.

Here are Starbucks promotions to watch for so you can get a discount on your PSL this fall:

BOGO Free Drinks
50% Off Any Drink — Best Value for Grande
$3 Handcrafted Drinks — Best Value for Venti
4 for $20 Drinks
Triple Star Days

Iced Pumpkin Spice Coffee (Cheaper Dupe)

If you're a fan of the PSL on ice, you can get a cheaper version by creating a spiced-up iced coffee. Order a Grande Iced Coffee Blend and add 3 pumps of Pumpkin Spice sauce and a splash of 2% milk — it'll ring up for $4.75. Add whipped cream and cinnamon powder on top for free.

How Long Will Pumpkin Spice Lattes Be Available at Starbucks?

Most stores will offer it through the end of the year as long as they still have it in stock. Around the time of the holiday menu launch (on Nov. 7 this year), stores usually can no longer order pumpkin spice, so they'll use it until they run out.

When Will Other Coffee Retailers Have Pumpkin Spice?

Starbucks isn’t the only coffee chain dropping a fall menu later in August. We’ll also see limited-time seasonal drinks from Dunkin’, Krispy Kreme, and more.

Here’s what to watch for this fall:
