NBR - guess how much I spend on coffee each month?

kickenb · May 2009

I go to Starbucks a lot. I will sometimes swing by Kwik Trip in the mornings to get coffee, but then have to get a donut or what not along with it. I've been going over what I spend each month on those things and the past two months I've average $100 a month of freakin coffee!

I need to start making my own in the morning.

Isn't crazy when you realize that!!!! Every money article I've read about how to save/cut back always lists cutting out the coffee habit!

Wow! I've added mine up before too and now we just set the coffee pot to auto and wake up to fresh coffee at 7a. I do splurge a couple times a month

Yeah, I spend about that much too. It's crazy. I just cut down my work schedule to 3 days per week. I told mh I would only go to starbucks on the days I work. I will be dusting off my coffee maker for the rest of the week.

When I was working I used to spend a ton on coffee. I realized the reason I didn't take my own was b/c I would forget my travel mug at work or forget to wash it. I went to a food supply store and bought a huge pack of disposable travel coffee cups. They were pretty cheap & recyclable too.

Embarrassed I'm guilty of the same....

it's depressing. WTF is wrong with me? Just make my own damn latte in the morning!!

I make my own in the morning and then still go through Dunkin Donuts to get one for work. I then on most days will go out and get one in the middle of the day...so I would say I spend about 4$ a day on coffee! Not including the bags we buy to make at home! Thanks for pointing this out

OMG I would have a stroke if I found out I spent that much on coffee! And I drink a crapload of it! I thought buying a $9 tub of Folger's Colombian 3x per month was getting pricey.

I have an electric percolator that I set up the night before and in the morning I plug it in before I get in the shower. After it brews it automatically switches to the Warm setting instead of burning. I love it b/c it's super easy to clean; all the bits can go in the dishwasher or you can put powdered dishwashing detergent in the basket and run it, and the coffee is so much better than in a drip coffeemaker - AND better than Starbucks IMO (Starbucks always tastes either burnt or too milky for me). My friend is a coffee snob and was all "OOOOOOH, what kind of coffee is this??? You MUST tell me!" You should have seen her face when I told her it was just Folgers. Big Smile

Between my dh and I we were spending $200/month(sick I know!). ?I now make a pot of coffee for myself in the morn. and I make him a espresso for his morning wake-up. ?He picks up another chai in the afternoon but that has been a huge cost-savings for us. ?I do have my frap treat every once in awhile though!

We got a keuireg and its super easy, quick, and much cheaper (yea its more expensive than making a pot, but also much cheaper than Starbucks!) DH turns it on when he goes and gets a bottle first thing in the am so it only takes a min to make later on. We also buy the bold coffee (cheap at Costco) and fill a travel mug (2 reg size cups) with it. Plus no clean up!
