How Much Do You Spend on Breakfast (Just Yourself Not Whole Family)?

I start my day early so as a 'treat' to myself I always pick up breakfast at this place across street from my office. I think I average ~ $6 every day (used to be $4.5-$5 but now with inflations it's gone up quite a bit), and on it's own it's not much but I also just realized by looking at my credit card summary I spent over $1,500 at this place this last year, and the majority of that was for breakfast. So now all of a sudden it sounded like a lot of money spent on breakfast... or is it?

I pay about the same -- usually for a breakfast sandwich or breakfast burrito. It just doesn't taste the same when I make it at home, or I don't have time. (I get up at 5:15 and I'm out the door by 6:15).

$2.29 for coffee and a muffin at 7-11. I use it to bribe myself to get out of the house on time. If I'm in the car by 7:15 I let myself stop. If I'm running late, I grab a bagel out of the pantry and eat it while driving ($1) and skip coffee.

Less than $1. I have economy sized ground Folgers that I use and drink.

Spend the money if you enjoy it and can afford it. For me, I am trying to get out the door and to work on time. Drinking coffee is simply a necessity to get moving and get there.

I only have coffee, made at home.

Never eat breakfast or lunch out. I’m a teacher.

Whatever the cost of a bowl of aldi cereal with milk & maybe half a banana is.
But lots of people eat lunch out everyday, which costs more than your breakfast.

A daily habit isn’t a “treat.”

You are wasting money and consuming unnecessary calories to boot.

NP yeah. Although just yesterday I swear that was more like $7.

Make ahead breakfasts: Overnight oats or breakfast burritos. Healthier and cheaper.

$1 - English muffin with a pat of butter and jelly, black coffee.

Same here. I wouldn't waste the calories on breakfast out. If I want a treat, then it's going to be lunch or dinner out. But what it boils down to is if OP can afford it and enjoys it.
