the Coffee Habit.

Hello again, I'm back with more savings tips and tricks, and ideas!!!   

This blog in particular is about coffee lovers.

I can't believe all the different varieties of warm beverages Starbucks has compared to 7 years ago!!! Back in the day I would see, maybe, three or four different coffee types.  But now, look at this!!!


Now I ask myself, what is a Java Chip?   And a grande is  $5.40.   If you drink a grande every day of
the week for 52 weeks/ year, you are spending  $1965.60 a year!! Don't forget, the price of coffee goes up
every year.  I bought a jar of  Maxwell house instant coffee for $3.00.  -yes, I admit, it's nothing like takeout ,but the jar lasts me a month, and I spend about $20 a month on cream and sugar.  -So, $23 a month * 12 months = $276 a year.  Lets say I indulge a little bit more, and spend $400 a year on coffee, cream and sugar.  That's still $1565 in savings.

What if you are a Canadian and you like Tim Horton's instead??






Yes, that's about right....

 On average Canadian coffee drinkers' drink 2.8 cups of coffee per day (Coffee Association of Canada).


A large coffee is $1.90.. *  2.8 =  $5.32   Almost 3 coffees = the price of a Starbucks Grande...
Canadians will spend about the same amount of money on takeout every year.  ($1936.48)

Here is a competitive chart explaining how Timmy's provides more drink for your money. .






More drink? -YES,    More savings? NO.  

Now, don't get me started with cigarettes.
