Starbucks $7 x 7 days = $50

The app is too easy to order
waste of money

200$ a month

I quit this drive thru ritual.

Years ago I would order food online every day and spend most of my money in the first week of the month every month. I haven’t done that since 2019. I make my money last until the end of the month.

We don’t have a Starbucks anymore in my town. It got replaced with a different coffee shop.

I used to spend money on take away coffees, but now I almost always drink coffee at home.

That’s the problem @anon36577941
The app - I deleted it.

I am trying to make better quality coffee at home and think it’s close in taste. @TheFountainPen

@anon21675834 it really is a money suck. I’m gonna try to put the money I don’t spend in a saving

We have a coffee machine that grinds the coffee itself.

I usually drink double espressos.

No fancy drinks but I get my caffeine shot!

Grinding fresh is fancy.

I like my coffee strong too. Next time I stock up on nespresso they now offer boost with extra caffeine

I get a 15 minute break at work every day I work. I usually buy a soda from the vending machine in the break room. It cost $3.25 for one 20 ounce soda. I did the math and that’s $10 a week or $40 a month or $480 a year! That’s a big chunk of money.

Can you bring your own drink? @77nick77

It would be a hassle but I guess I could. I would need ice because it would be warm.

@Kxev making my own lattes at home has ruined starbucks for me. Once I got the initial setup and learned how to do it, I can now make an amazing latte in like 2 minutes half asleep. When I have starbucks now, it tastes the way Mcdonalds tastes after you become an adult and realize what real food tastes like.

Yeah unfortunately i don’t use Nespresso coffee anymore.
The coffee pods are too expensive for me now.

I’ve been using instant coffee

It’s cheaper cost wise and I enjoy the flavor.

A lot of my expenses goes to my puppy’s food and other costs

Why not stop going to Starbucks and save some money for a good coffee machine you can have at home?

Interesting read on how lattes are different from just adding milk. Steaming milk chemical reaction creating a sweeter taste. @Ninjastar

Yeah. @Rainstorm i got into the routine driving my spouse to work and the app would notify me in near a Starbucks.

I’m trying to see where I’m wasting money

@Wave I am getting nespresso cups off eBay for 1$ each

This hope will last me 1 month or more for the cost of 1.5 week of Starbucks drive thru
