Priorities.
I love Starbucks coffee. Love LOVE it. I have gotten in to a habit of having an iced venti sugar-free vanilla with room americano… every day.
Now, an americano is just espresso and water. Kind of harsh. But if you add a little syrup, and then a sploosh of cream - it’s actually really good. In a fully-leaded kind of way. But good.
Since there aren’t a lot of fancy-schmancy ingredients, other than the espresso pretty much, the americano comes with a pretty decent price tag. For all that, it only costs me $2.70 a day. Compare that to what I used to get and you just add more than a dollar to the cost. If I remember right the venti carmel mach comes to $4.30. A day.
I started doing a little math this morning. And I realized just how much the $2.70 a day adds up to over time. In 30 days: $81. 60 days: $162.
So in roughly two months I will have spent over $150 on coffee.
Then I started thinking, $150 will pretty much cover half the cost of a flight from Houston to San Diego… or from San Diego to Houston. Houston is where my “boyfriend” is now living. San Diego is where he can fly into to visit me, even if it’s just for a weekend.
Every. Two. Months.
hmmmmmm.
I am SO giving up coffee.
