The Frugal Duchess used to drink Starbucks a lot but now she makes her own brew. She saves about $1,200 a year by brewing her own secret recipe which is just as good as the premium stuff. Check out her article for what you need to brew your own cheap, high-quality coffee.
My personal money saving tips for coffee:
Drink cheap coffee. Even though it’s not “as good” as ‘Bucks, you’ll get used to it.
Build your own brew. If I do go out for coffee, I just get a regular cup and add all the cream, sugar, and chocolate at the barista cart (I made that term up. I have no idea what the area is called that holds the sugar, stirrer, and cream.)
