The alarm clock rings. It's six a.m. We are too tired to make a pot of coffee but we know that Starbuck's or some other major chain will make it better than we can and heat up a bagel for just a few dollars more. We pay the cashier and we are on our way to work without a second thought about it.
This is the scenario of millions of American's daily, and I say so nonjudgmental I did it for years. Why did I stop?
Some friends tell me I'm cheap. I don't think I am. I just can sometimes justified reasons to pay more for convenience, but not if it is a huge 1000% more a year for something I can do easily, is at home.
A great cup of cappuccino and a bagel. It seems harmless. Maybe you're $ 55 including tip a dollar or so. Add that day, at a minimum, you have about $ 1700 a year, or consumed
more than $ 2000 a year. The alternative? Wait a few seconds to prepare coffee, cappuccino or espresso at home (up the nightfirst).
And the cost of the ring is 1 / 6, ready with what you pay for itself.
In both cases, if the buyer acquires wisdom and good sandwiches, the consumer is always a better deal. A bag of six bagels is usually a dollar or two at most, in most major supermarket chains.
If you know of gourmet coffee, and now I know a little 'over the ground coffee beans are nothing compared to that. And stale coffee quickly, even in the best situation. Buyinggrain is cheaper, very fresh taste, a test can be done blindfold and the novice coffee drinker to tell the difference. There really is no bitterness, and there is a lot easier for the taste buds. In addition, it takes 10 seconds to grind (and a good grinding is only about $ 70 or $ 80 with a lifetime warranty.
There are all types of coffee machines, cappuccino makers and espresso makers on the market, usually ranging from $ 20 - $ 500 depending on brand andQuality.
Whatever you buy, their budgets are still under control simply by Caffeine

Their bagels and focuses in the refrigerator, and coffee with the (hopefully self-beer one) have a delicious cold beer ready when the alarm goes off. Just heat the bagel while pouring coffee. The whole process takes up to two minutes tomost.
Just a habit, that's a savings of $ 4-6 dollars per day or close to $ 2000 a year, eating sandwiches and sweet tasting coffee or a drink much healthier.
No, not boycott Starbucks or any other major. I still love there that's going on with friends.
But sometimes we make an occasional lunch or after work. Many of us have the habit of paying excessive prices for products (and make it more palatable at home) came so easily.
TheBottom line is that a little 'aware of their buying behavior, the choice
