A few months ago, I shared my COFFEE MADNESS (See: IS COFFEE GOOD FOR ME?) . What I did was to count the number of cups of coffee I consume in an average work day -- and Starbucks will surely love me as I am the open target for their ads - -the busy bee who carries the Starbucks coffee in her meetings. Long story short, to help me minimize and control my caffeine intake I took the easy way out and just brought by own coffee mug (holds 2 cups) - -Problem solved!
Nine months later, here I am still filling my coffee mug at 7:30 am everyday, totally saved $4 -$8/week as I have not visited Starbucks drive-thru since that post (I only buy grande mocha when I am at the airport) - -And guess what , my coffee mug saved me a minimum of $300 in 9 months - -All because I chose to brew my own coffee daily- -Yeah!
So in celebration of my big success, I found an opportunity to expand my saving madness--so I bought this water bottle ($5.99 at Ross) so I can save the money I spent on cold drinks at the giant vending machine in the break room (approx: $1/day)
Yeah right...I'm the crazy saving girl who bought these mugs and thinks its a great idea? Well -- for some it doesn't matter - - but as I have reiterated in the past - -Every dollar I save is a dollar closer to my early retirement goal to live a princess life somewhere near the beach...
So excited but ..Houston, we have a problem - -They make my bag really heavy now! I'll survive!
