Deal of the Day: Iced Coffee

I rarely drink hot coffee in the summer,
but I LOVE an iced coffee!!

I am a starbucks junkie when it comes to a
Iced
TALL
Non-Fat
White-Mocha
w/ WHIP

But since they are over $3,
I decided to cut back and just go with a traditional iced coffee
w/ vanilla flavoring
at what I thought was as steal
for only $1.85!

Then I thought to myself,
why am I even paying that much?!

I have coffee at home
and flavored creamer!!
{Dunkin Donuts coffee and French Vanilla creamer ;}

So here is my calculated savings
based on having a coffee everyday for a month:

Starbucks Iced Coffee.... $1.85 x 30 = $55.50

McDonald Iced Coffee.... $1.49 x 30 = $44.70
{just thought I would throw this in to compare too ;}

My @ Home Iced Coffee....



***Drum roll please***



$0.19 x 30 = $5.70

WOW!!!

So, basically I can have a delicious iced coffee
everyday for a month
for the same price of one starbucks coffee and pastry,
while saving myself $50 to stash or buy myself something cute! ;}


Having my cake and eating it,

  1. That is what is known as the latte factor. In my old days as a stock broker I used this example (which is from David Bach's book, Smart Women Finish Rich..which you are sure to do) often. You are such a smartie!

  5. If you like Chai, you should try the Spicy Chai Latte mix from Trader Joes! Its a powder you can mix into water, but I add a little to my coffee with some milk. It's a nice little makeover for your coffee.
