I've tried. I cannot make coffee, so I invest in Tim Horton's! I have even tried other places, but Tim makes it just the way I like for $1.55 a day. Unfortunately, I add a muffin or bagel because I don't make time for breakfast before leaving in the morning. This increases the cost to an average of $3.00 a day, not to mention all the carbs!
One of my favorite blogs is Simple Mom. Her post on a
six-month emergency plan got me thinking of how much I spend on coffee and lunch. I'll crunch the numbers to make a goal, but
- I will eat breakfast at home
- I will pack my lunch 3 times a week
Notice, I didn't give up the coffee for $1.55 a day. :-)
