Coffee

The first thing you read on money saving articles and blogs is usually to cut out the expensive Starbucks and make coffee at home, which I do. But I've got to wondering, how much do I spend on coffee?

I just bought a 12 oz. bag of coffee for $7. Let's see how long it lasts. 

Checking in 8 days later, it looks like we have 2 more days left of coffee or so. I'd say about 13-15 days worth between myself and my domestic partner.  I also bought some new coffee this week for $6.

In conclusion, we're looking at about $0.40-$0.50 per day per person on coffee.

So next time I click on some fake internet article that says we can do X for the price of a cup of coffee a day, they better mean $0.40-0.50 cents a day.

Annualized, $365 per year for two people to drink coffee everyday seems like a good enough deal when you consider how vitally important coffee is in getting you through the day.

  1. For those interested, Target has three 12oz bags of Starbucks coffee for ~$14 http://slickdeals.net/f/8768931-3-pack-of-12oz-starbucks-whole-bean-or-ground-coffee-various-flavors-13-92-free-shipping-target-com?src=featured

    Obviously there are better brands but this is a pretty good deal for Starbucks
