    Coffee.

    I don’t need fancy coffee every day, especially with the inflated prices. I did the math and it’s over $200/mo spent on coffee.

    I stopped getting it every day, but I can’t seem to kick the habit on weekends.

      fyi, that coffee you are buying isn’t “fancy.” Buy yourself actual fancy coffee and grind and brew it yourself. I bet you could get some extremely amazing brew say, $250/lb and it would be cheaper then then the shit you buy daily.

        Oh, yeah, no, it’s definitely not coffe that’s actually fancy, I just mean dressed up coffee. Iced vanilla latte with an extra shot of espresso is my jam.

        Now I use a morning blend with my Kureg and froth up some milk with a shot of vanilla syrup and drink that.

        It never tastes as good, but ohwell.

      I was gonna say energy drinks. I gave them up for a year and demonstrated to myself that I don’t need them. Then I let them back into my life and again developed a (mostly mental) dependency on them.

        It’s so easy to slip back I to those habits. So, so, easy, and harder and harder to stop each time.

      I used to be the same but with a Keurig and some flavored creamer we’re able to go to the coffee shop maybe once every couple months and I drink a lot of coffee. Costco even sells pods made from paper that are biodegradable so I don’t have to feel guilty throwing them in the trash.

        Yeah, I bought a Krueg and the syrup used to flavor coffee at the coffee shops. I also bought a mini milk frother, so it really feels like a decent latte.
