Designer Coffee - Is it worth $1,000 a year to you?

If so, I say go for it because dropping into your favorite coffee shop every morning will set you back about $5 a cup, $20 a week... at the end of the year that adds up to $1,040!!!  (That's assuming you haven't picked up something to munch on with it)

Going through McDonalds for a cup of joe will set you back - $5 or $6 dollars a week ( or more if you go with their new designer coffees)

Save some cash and brew your own coffee at home - even consider taking a thermos to work with you.... if you like froth, pick up a home frother at the hardware store to whip your milk - you could even buy some of beans your favorite shop sells and still be money ahead... but if it's all about see and be seen or not being able to get out of that habit, just know what that morning cup of joe costs you at the end of the year.
