I think this post collection will also help me think of more
creative ways to save a dime and hopefully help you!
Addicted to Coffee
I am blessed with the luxury of working from home 80% of the
time. While I have a morning "schedule", it certainly isn't a typical
one. The first thing I do when I get up is turn on my Keurig and wish that it
would warm up faster. In the mean time I put away dishes that dried overnight and as
soon as I hear the Keurig's warm up wind down I head over and get the show
rolling.
I could make it as simple as popping a pod in and hitting
brew but a little over a month ago I had a small epiphany. While I am fully
aware that buying a box of pods at the grocery store is still cheaper than getting
a cup of coffee at coffee shop, I can still do better. With 2 coffee drinkers
in the house, averaging 1 cup of coffee a day, equals roughly 60 coffee pods a
month. That’s a lot. Yes, I use to use
coupons and at the very minimum I would pay $30 month. If I literally spend
only $30 a month on coffee that $390 annually. I'm sure some of you at this
point think I'm nuts but look, if I can spend half of that on a yearly basis that’s
almost $200 back in my pocket. I have dreams of traveling the world!
The first month was pretty much a wash as I went out and bought another reusable filter so I had 2 and some coffee grinds. At the time I didn't realize that places like TJ MAXX and Marshalls had packages of 2 for around $5. I bought 2 for a reason because I have a tendency to leave the pod in the keurig and this way I have one for the next day. It's one extra step but over time I know it will be well worth it! Not to mention it's also "greener" since we aren't throwing these away any more. By the time the holidays roll around I'll have a little extra cash to spend on gifts.
