Do you buy cups of coffee on the way to work? Why not brew your own at home for a fraction of the cost? That sounds pretty obvious, but when you look at how much you may be spending on coffee, you may be shocked.
$2.00 doesn't seem like a lot of money, does it?
Well, if you spend $2.00 each day for a cup of coffee on the way to work, over time the amount you will spend is absolutely frightening. On average, there are 20 working days in a month, so the costs work out to:
- $2.00 per day
- $40.00 per month
- $480.00 per year
$480.00 per year. Wow. That is a heck of a lot of money to be spending on take-out coffee!
You can save big by brewing your own at home and bringing it with you in a mini-thermos. You can buy 2 pounds of coffee grounds at your grocery store for around $6.00 and brew coffee for a month. Here's what it costs you to make it at home:
- $0.30 per day
- $6.00 per month
- $72.00 per year
Use this tip and you could save as much as $408.00 per year - that's almost a rent payment.
Not only will you save on the actual coffee, but think of how much time and gas you'll save now that you don't have to drive to the coffee shop!
UPDATE: I just found an online coffee calculator which shows you how much money you can save if you invest the money you would normally spend at your gourmet coffee shop!
