Its been getting warm lately as a splurge treat, my fiancé and I enjoyed a nice cool and refreshing smoothie.
My thrifty tip is to:
*Originally drinks were both full to the rim. I didnt think to take a picture until halfway. :)

I'm not in the habit of buying cold drinks often but when I do I always ask that no ice is added. The drink is cold anyway and doesn't need added cooling. With ice added, the amount of juice or soda is reduced by half so that means you're paying premium price for the actual amount of beverage.
I can totally relate. When it comes to drinks that have ice, I will request no ice too. :) You get more for your value.
For smoothies, I keep the ice or whichever needed for the ingredients though.
These are great tips!! I am also of the no ice camp!!! It is much easier on the teeth and reduces headaches from the too cold drink and it saves money all the way around!
My twist to this is that I like to take my own cups where I can (which would work perfect for the splitting as you can have them fill one and then split on your own).
Some places offer discounts if you fill your own cup/mug with the beverage. Make sure you know how much yours holds so you can get the max for the price (like is your cup a small 8 ounces) or an extra large 64 ounces).
Thanks for sharing!! I love this community of thrifters!!!
I too am with the team no ice! Hehe.
I have not asked about bringing my own cup, but that is a great tip - know our cup size so we don't get ripped off hehe. But they do sell their own tumblers that we'd get a discount if we brought back. :)
