Mr. Coffee

Tip of the day- Brew your own coffee!

I know I have hit on this before. I just wanted to share some more math I ran across the other night. It is the daily extra from my desk calendar I received last Christmas.

"Make your own coffee. At $4 a pop, a daily serving of coffee shop java can add up to nearly $1,500 a year. Making coffe at home costs only cents."

How many cents? Here's what we're paying. We bought five cans of Folgers for $4 dollars each when they were on sale a few months ago at Lowe's Foods. So far we have gone through one and a half of them in two and a half months. If the rest of the current can only lasts until the end of this month then we're on a pace of two cans of coffee every three months. That's one every month and a half. We make an average pot of six cups each day. That adds up to 270 cups of coffee per can. The can was $4 so each cup is costing us a penny and a half!
