Somewhere between Julia's birth and now, I have become a 2-3 cups of coffee a day kind of girl. This might not seem like much but, when you suddenly go from none to potentially three, well, it's a big deal.
So, I decided to figure out exactly how much money I spend at Dunky's each week. It's scary people, really scary.
Using the average of 2 coffees per day, it came out to just under $30. Add the 3rd cup to the daily intake and it jumps to just under $45.
Forty five dollars a week on coffee? That's $180 per month, over $2000 per year!
Holy crap!
I have drawn the following conclusions from this:
1. I need to get off my high horse and actually use the coffee maker at home. Even buying the Dunkin Donuts coffee to make at home would still be cheaper.
2. I admit, when it comes to actually buying the cup, already made for me by the kind employees of Dunkin Donut's, I am a little spoiled. So, I could just cut back to 1 per day which would bring the weekly total down to about $15 per week. That seems a little more reasonable anyway.
3. The third option is of course to suck it up and deal. I could potentially die without the coffee (well, maybe not die but you know, be really, really sad...not to mention grumpy and tired) so when looking at it that way, $45 isn't too bad, is it?
