There are plenty of reasons to head to your local Starbucks on a Thursday afternoon. But now that the coffee chain is giving customers the opportunity to save 50 percent on certain icy beverages, you’ve got yet another excuse to ditch the office for a bit.

Starting at 3 p.m. on May 3, you’ll be able to get grande or larger-sized Frappuccinos for 50 percent off during the Starbucks Happy Hour Event.

To receive this deal, sign up to receive emails about Starbucks events going on in your area, and then you’ll be given a code. Show the code to the barista, and that will unlock the discount. Let the savings — and coffee-sipping — begin!

The 50% offer is valid for May 3 event only, but once you’re signed up for the emails from Starbucks, you’ll be notified before future Happy Hour Events.

Along with the Frappuccino flavors you know and love, there are some new additions to the menu this season which debuted on May 1. So, if you haven’t already tried the Ultra Caramel Frappuccino or the Triple Mocha Frappuccino — now’s your chance!

The Ultra Caramel Frappuccino is layered with whipped cream infused with cold brew, nestled between white chocolate and dark caramel syrup. Yum!

This Happy Hour Event sounds like the perfect pick-me-up for a Thursday afternoon. Don’t miss out!
