The Tightwad

Going to coffee shops is a great way to waste a lot of money.  Consider if you spend just $3.00 on your coffee (of course, some are more than that!).  Spending $3.00 a day during the work week, every week of the month, every month of the year will add up to $720 (or $780 if your counting 52 weeks) a year in coffee.  If you do this for just 5 years, your looking at $3600 (or $3900 when counting it at 52 weeks) in coffee!!! YIKES!!! Now, I know not everyone spends on coffee shops that regularly, but they do it often enough for it to take a decent chunk out of their budget.  A simple way to save money is to cutout going to coffee shops and making your coffee at home.  You can also search the internet for recipes for gourmet coffees.
