Starbucks is bringing back the seasonal favorite that America can't get enough of: the pumpkin spice latte. Like seemingly everything else, though, it's fallen victim to inflation. The popular drink will cost about 4% more than last year, CNN reports, with a price of $5.45 to $5.95 for a grande (16 ounces) depending on location. Can't stomach the thought of spending even more on your favorite fall treat? Here's where else you can get your "PSL" fix — in most cases, for a little less money.


Prices and availability may vary by location.
