Coffee.
I don't need fancy coffee every day, especially with the inflated prices. I did the math and it's over $200/mo spent on coffee.
I stopped getting it every day, but I can't seem to kick the habit on weekends.
I used to be the same but with a Keurig and some flavored creamer we're able to go to the coffee shop maybe once every couple months and I drink a lot of coffee. Costco even sells pods made from paper that are biodegradable so I don't have to feel guilty throwing them in the trash.
Yeah, I bought a Krueg and the syrup used to flavor coffee at the coffee shops. I also bought a mini milk frother, so it really feels like a decent latte.
I was gonna say energy drinks. I gave them up for a year and demonstrated to myself that I don't need them. Then I let them back into my life and again developed a (mostly mental) dependency on them.
It's so easy to slip back I to those habits. So, so, easy, and harder and harder to stop each time.
fyi, that coffee you are buying isn't "fancy." Buy yourself actual fancy coffee and grind and brew it yourself. I bet you could get some extremely amazing brew say, $250/lb and it would be cheaper then then the shit you buy daily.
Oh, yeah, no, it's definitely not coffe that's actually fancy, I just mean dressed up coffee. Iced vanilla latte with an extra shot of espresso is my jam.
Now I use a morning blend with my Kureg and froth up some milk with a shot of vanilla syrup and drink that.
It never tastes as good, but ohwell.
