I have saved nearly 4 million/month by making coffee at home instead of going to the shop
Drinking coffee has become an indispensable daily habit since I was a college student. Living in New York, there is certainly no shortage of genuine coffee shops with the best quality beans in the world. Until now, I have gradually become a person who cannot live without coffee, without it, I cannot concentrate on working for a whole day.
When the frequency of recharge to the application Starbucks Increasingly, I suddenly realized that I was spending too much money on coffee and needed to find another solution that was more financially suitable. So I decided not to buy coffee when going out even once and I saved 154 dollars (3.6 million dong) in just 1 month.
My spouse used to spend 241 dollars/month (5.6 million dong) on coffee
My partner and I, currently living in London, are both coffee drinkers. When we totaled our weekly Starbucks and Costa bills, we found that we were spending an average of £40 a week. And that doesn’t include the espresso we have around the house for our morning pre-workout, which is usually around a box a week, £6 (174k). That means we spent about 184 pounds (5.4 million) on coffee alone.
It sounded like we were drinking something fancy. But actually our coffee orders were the basics. I always get a large cold brew with no sugar, while my wife chooses a medium sized latte.
After realizing we had spent way too much money on our coffee, we decided to fix our mistake. We just brewed coffee at home for a month and watched how the money situation changed.
So we bought coffee to make at home – and were shocked when the total bill was calculated
I did some research to find the best UK based coffee roaster and found some beans with the same taste characteristics as what we wanted. I bought a new coffee maker to drink instead of Starbucks for $27.50 (632k), as well as continuing to use the instant espresso.
At first, resisting the habit of going to the morning coffee shop left us quite depressed and frustrated. We’re used to the fact that after our gym sessions, we receive orders from Starbucks as a small reward for completing a hard workout.
It took a few weeks to get out of that mindset, but I’m finally starting to look forward to coming home with the coffee already in my fridge. Besides that, the fact that I know that it’s free (or at least a lot cheaper than buying a cup of coffee) also gives me more incentive to make my own coffee at home.
Because we make so much coffee at home – twice a day before hitting the gym and after working out – I had to order another $21.50 box of coffee. But, that’s not a big deal.
In total, I spent $86 (VND 2 million) on coffee for the month. Compared to the amount that we have spent before when visiting Starbucks daily, that is savings 154 dollars (3.6 million dong).
Sometimes we still visit the coffee shop to enjoy our previous favorite flavor as well as enjoy the surrounding atmosphere. However, we are definitely not going back to our old habits. Now I just think about what to do with the money that I have accumulated every month since the coffee shop is no longer at the shop.
