Starbucks is a huge name in the coffee industry. Started in 1971, the company has several outlets across India and many other countries. However, its menu is a little pricey.
But a Twitter user ordered a coffee at Starbucks and paid half the price for it. And no, the outlet was not offering any discounts. Here is the catch.
Starbucks Coffee At Half Price
For all those who think this tweet is made up or story- Mentos khao dimag ki ghanti bajao https://t.co/7AhAGoNquUpic.twitter.com/ragKIp6kAc

You will not believe but Sandeep Mall, a wildlife photographer and master health coach, was sitting at a Starbucks outlet, and he ordered coffee from Zomato.
The Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew is priced at ₹365, which along with taxes and delivery charges can cost around ₹400.
Mall applied a coupon that cut down the price of the coffee to almost half, ₹190, and he did not have to pay any delivery charges because he was a Zomato Gold user. He saved ₹200 on the order.
The Zomato delivery executive picked up the coffee from the outlet and delivered it to his seat.
Taking it to Twitter, he wrote, “Sitting at Starbucks - coffee for 400. Zomato deal for same coffee 190. Ordered Zomato with the address of Starbucks. The Zomato guy picks up and gives me to my table at Starbucks.”
Mall even shared his order summary to prove his claim.

Try karti hun😀
A user said she had to meet someone at Starbucks and assured them that she would try the trick.
Definitely going to try this!

Another person commented that they would definitely try it.

Apoorvv Dixit said that he had been trying it for the past eight months.
They have these 190Rs offers only on some days, with the intention of brining more people(who order at home) to try their coffee. On most days, swiggy/zomato is not cheaper than in shop. But on those days, ur hack can work.

Some users also shared that the brand offers coffee for ₹190 on selected days of a week to lure in customers. She said that on most days Swiggy and Zomato offers are not cheaper than what you would pay at a shop. However, on days with discounted prices, one can save a lot on their favourite coffee.
You didn’t pay them for using their furniture and air conditioning 😀

Harpreet Singh pointed out Mall did not have to pay for using furniture and air conditioning of the Starbucks outlet.
