Coffee is a habit that can get
expensive. The average person spends around $1,100 annually on coffee, which comes out to $3/day. This is mostly due to purchasing coffee from
shops instead of brewing it at home. Also, purchasing fancy drinks like lattes
and cappuccinos cost more to make even if you make it on your own.
Here are some tips to making sure
your coffee addiction doesn't take a toll on your wallet:
Brew
Your Own
This is the cheapest route. Although it is more convenient
to have someone else brew your coffee, you are paying for it, literally.
Coffee-makers are super cheap and within a week it will pay for itself.
If strength is what you’re looking for, stick to dark roasts. If that’s not
enough, there is a coffee brand called “Death Wish.” It is the world’s
strongest coffee, at least twice as strong as any other coffee out there.
Coffee
Over Cappuccinos
Coffee is much cheaper than fancy
drinks like lattes and cappuccinos. Even making them at home. A cappuccino
maker is ten times the price of a coffeemaker.
Where
To Buy
If you can’t brew your own and want
the most bang for your buck, Starbucks has the strongest coffee out of the
coffee shop chains. A Venti (large) runs under $2 which falls under the average
annual coffee budget.
Have
A Coffee Budget
An easy way to do this is to get a
coffee card, like at Starbucks where you can refill it every week to make sure
you don't go over your budget. Another way is to have a "coffee fund"
where you just throw in a dollar or two when you have it and and pull from
there.
