I buy a tea every morning and get refills for free. I figure $3 a day isn't that much of a splurge.

Peet's is SO much better.

My coworker buys breakfast about 3-4 times a week, lunch 5 days a week then complains to me that she can't lose weight and/or can't pay such and such bill. I just say "you should cut down on buying breakfast/lunch everday."

I can't afford to buy lunch everday. I don't eat breakfast.

I buy breakfast ($5) and lunch ($8) every day I'm in the office, which is 4 days a week. So about $200 a month.

Yes. Spouse, too. He also buys lunch every day.

I spend between $* and $12 a day on lunch.

+1 I don't buy coffee. But I buy lunch everyday.

If you work downtown there's probably one downstairs, or next door. There are so many, doesn't take long at all.

Green tea is so cheap!! Brew a pitcher of hot water with 4-5 tea bags then put in fridge. Pennies!

What do you do?

IT project management

My boss's wife spends at least 25$ a day, every day at Starbucks. I know for a fact she goes three times a day. She gets them for her husband and employees as well. They know her so well that they just make her drink when she walks in. That 700$ a month just at Starbucks. WOW!!

I buy coffee out (not always Starbucks) probably 4x/week, and historically I buy my lunch probably 3-4x week too. I'm trying to pay down a credit card right now so I'm bringing lunch more often. But I love my coffee habit and won't stop buying it completely.
