Are you an avid coffee lover? Do you look forward to your afternoon coffee run out of the office? Well it’s time to put a halt to it. Why? You are depleting your earnings. Take it from your savvy shopper here, coffee runs are dangerously expensive. Last month alone, I racked up at least $70 on coffee runs! Think of all the things you could do with all that money? There is an endless list of possibilities.
Ask yourself this question, is it crucial for you to buy your coffee every day? If your budget does not have wiggle room for a coffee run, then do not do it. Easier said than done, right?! Cutting back on coffee runs doesn’t mean you need to cutback on your delicious consumption of caffeinated goodness. From one coffee lover to another, there are still other measures you can do to have your cup of joe on the regular. After all, as my motto goes: a coffee or three a day keeps the crazy away. Here are somethings you can do to still enjoy your Pumpkin Spice Latte (PSL) while staying on budget.
1) Take advantage of the coffee maker at work. Bring in some of your favorite coffee in from home and put it in the break room to brew anytime.
2) If you are fortunate to live near your job, make your mocha at home during your lunch break before you head back to the office. If it gets cold, heat it up in the microwave.
3) Pack an extra cup with you before you venture off to the office. Invest in a thermal mug so whether you like your coffee hot or cold you can have it just the way you like it for when you finally hit that dreaded wall during the work day.
If you follow these steps, you can find a great deal of savings! Coffee is a wonderful thing but so is money. Choose to spend your money wisely so you still enjoy your brew worry free.
