This little savings can go a long way
Tuesday, February 24th, 2009Most of you would not think much about the savings of a few dollars that you can get from a single cup coffee maker. But, if you would to multiply it by the number of days, months and then years, it can be pretty substantial.
I have told people that the simplest thing you can do to further manage your expenses in this very lean time is to take note of your variable expenses. One of them is your daily coffee consumption.
Do you know that how much is a year spending on coffee assuming that one cup is $3.50? You would have spend $1277 on coffee alone just for a year, if you have purchase all of it in coffee shops or cafes.
So, the first thing you want to do, is to do it at home. You would need a coffee maker, a coffee travel mug and some good coffee. There is no point scrimping on lousy coffee, if it would spoil your mood, it would be counter productive.
The whole idea is to find a machine that is easy to prepare the coffee, cost is very lower. That is where the single cup coffee maker comes in.
Even for the more expensive version of a keurig coffee maker, you can still look forward to close to a thousand dollars savings for this.
There you have it, everyday saves a dollars would enables you to go for a short holiday at the end of the year!
