Coffee.... its so expensive!
Give up the daily ritual of stopping at Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts or your favorite coffee shop. If an average cup of coffee costs $3.50, that's about $70 a month, $840 a year! More if you buy the $5 cup of coffee and a scone!
Invest in a thermal cup and make your own coffee to take with you. You are also helping the environment by using your own cup! Target seems to have the cheapest coffee, but it really irks me that the containers have gotten smaller, have you noticed? Its even cheaper if you can buy a bulk load of unground beans at Costco or Sam's Club. If you grind your own it always tastes fresh, keep the unground beans in the refrigerator. To add some variety, put some hershey's syrup, flavored creamer or Baily's in your coffee. I only make as much coffee as I think I will drink, usually half a pot is enough to get my day started and to fill my thermal cup and take with me. Refill your cup at work if its free to get you through the rest of the day.
I also found that another cheap way to get coffee is to go over to my parent's house after they come back from a Sam's trip and fill up a container with some of their coffee beans! :)
