I don't even think we drink a lot of coffee!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-coffee-per-month/page/2#post-2687140 Thu, 26 Jan 2017 11:09:03 +0000 PinkElephant 2687140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We brew at home each morning, and maybe use 3-5 Nespresso pods per week for an afternoon/weekend cup or an espresso after weekend dinner. I'd say a bag of coffee lasts us about a week, and we've currently found one of Target's Archer Farms coffees we actually like, and I pay under $6/bag for. So 6x4 = 24, plus another $5/week ($20), plus a few social coffees per week for DH....maybe another $10/week. $24 + $20 + $40 = $84 max...though I'd suspect it's typically less (ie., our ground coffee lasts 1.5 weeks, some weeks we don't use any Nespresso pods). But yeaaaaah that's kind of a lot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-coffee-per-month/page/2#post-2687121 Thu, 26 Jan 2017 10:47:11 +0000 cascademom 2687121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: The app does me in sometimes since I auto reload it. I do have 8 free drinks on it though from Starbucks for Life and other daily dash stuff. At my work, we have a weird Starbucks machine, so I do a 12 oz coffee from there with my blond roast, so no money spent. </p> <p>I use my Keurig K10 mini just about everyday since we got it. On the weekends, I'll make iced coffee the night before to have it ready for the early morning with the kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-coffee-per-month/page/2#post-2687041 Thu, 26 Jan 2017 09:24:03 +0000 azjax 2687041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh way way too much! I brew coffee at home in the AM and then typically pick up a cup at our local $tarbuck$ in the PM. It's my only frivolity though!! We probably spend about $15/month on beans and I blow through $60-80/month at the Bux. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-coffee-per-month/page/2#post-2687039 Thu, 26 Jan 2017 09:22:59 +0000 nana87 2687039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We mostly brew at home but buy nice coffee, often from local coffeeshops/roasters, so usually between 10-15 per pound. We prob go through 2/3 of that per week, so say $10. Plus if I'm working out of our home (4 days/week at most, usually less) I get a coffee in the afternoons, so that's about another $20, and on the weekends if we're out and about. So, maybe 30-50/week between dh and I on a "normal" work week? Oh gosh but you asked about monthly! so 120-200. Eeek! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-coffee-per-month/page/2#post-2687027 Thu, 26 Jan 2017 09:15:37 +0000 JenGirl 2687027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I drink one cup per weekday morning with a communal pot at work that we all chip in to. Plus, maybe buy one coffee out somewhere per month (probably less). So I'm well under $10 per month. </p> <p>My husband brews coffee at home daily. We have a single cup coffee maker, but use a reusable filter because it's much cheaper.</p> <p>I also recently discovered that our local Kroger sells whole beans in bulk that are significantly cheaper than the pre-packaged stuff, so that's what we do now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-coffee-per-month/page/2#post-2686984 Thu, 26 Jan 2017 08:25:07 +0000 SweetiePie 2686984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: yeah that's a good point. I don't have any other vices. And I wouldn't even call this a vice - I just need something to do while I wait for school to end! It's only 2 hours and if you count travel time to run around and get back it's more like 1-1.25 hours. There's just not a ton I can do in that time. So, coffee and breakfast near the school it is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-coffee-per-month/page/2#post-2686948 Thu, 26 Jan 2017 07:15:48 +0000 looch 2686948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetiePie: Everyone has their thing. When I lived abroad, I spent about the same on coffee, because that's just what you did...a coffee cost at least $4, and then I'd get something to eat with it, and I'd have to buy the person's I was with once every other time...it adds up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-coffee-per-month/page/2#post-2686931 Thu, 26 Jan 2017 06:27:02 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2686931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My SB habit was getting a little ridiculous once I added the app to my phone. I spent at least $100 a month. I'm now brewing my own coffee most mornings. Coffee plus two creamers in a month is about $10 and the occasional SB is another $20. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-coffee-per-month/page/2#post-2686901 Wed, 25 Jan 2017 22:44:09 +0000 Coral 2686901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, I buy Peets kcups for 7 bucks for ten pods and drink three a day (I know...it's lot.) So that's 2.10×30= 63 bucks. And that doesn't include going to Starbucks 1-2 a week or so (8×4)= 32. So, yeah, around 100 bucks a month just for me (DH doesn't drink coffee.) Yikes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-coffee-per-month#post-2686892 Wed, 25 Jan 2017 22:33:44 +0000 lilyofthewest 2686892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A lot. We brew at home 90% of the time, but, I'm really committed to buying organic, fair-trade, rainforest-safe coffee. Coffee and chocolate are things that I know my buying choices have big impacts and I spend the extra $$. We usually go through 4-5 bags of beans/month and spend $13-17/bag depending on sales. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-coffee-per-month#post-2686875 Wed, 25 Jan 2017 22:01:26 +0000 FannyMae 2686875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>easily $100 - $150 on freshly roasted beans that will last through about 3 to 4 weeks. we go through a lot of coffee at home, but I rarely buy coffee out. Hubby drinks a lot, but I am satisfied with my 4.30pm coffee hit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-coffee-per-month#post-2686848 Wed, 25 Jan 2017 20:48:41 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2686848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't buy coffee out. I use a traditional drip coffee pot and drink about 2 large cups a day (the liquid is generally around the 4/5ish cup mark). I buy bags, not canisters. I got through one about every week and a half. I usually spend about $15 to $20 a month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-coffee-per-month#post-2686846 Wed, 25 Jan 2017 20:40:22 +0000 lawbee11 2686846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetiePie: @jh524: It's my one vice and I bring my lunch to work every day (maybe once a month get takeout for lunch) so I feel like it evens out :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-coffee-per-month#post-2686844 Wed, 25 Jan 2017 20:39:00 +0000 snowjewelz 2686844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me? None; I'm too cheap! </p> <p>DH gets venti starbucks just regular coffee like 3-4 times a week depending... But he usually uses his own credit card points to redeem gift cards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-coffee-per-month#post-2686823 Wed, 25 Jan 2017 20:00:29 +0000 Mrs. Oreo 2686823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH drinks coffee almost every day. We get this huge pack of kcups from Costco for $40. I think there's about 70 in there? We buy it every 3-4 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-coffee-per-month#post-2686820 Wed, 25 Jan 2017 19:57:11 +0000 winniebee 2686820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get a pound every other week at the grocery store - sbux for 6.99. My husband and I birth drink it every day. I get the occasional latte at Starbucks when I'm in the car traveling for work. Maybe 3x a month. So I would say $26 a month for two people. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-coffee-per-month#post-2686815 Wed, 25 Jan 2017 19:50:28 +0000 Umbreon 2686815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to drink one cup of coffee every day and only spent $6 a year. There was free coffee at work so I only made it at home on weekends. I'd buy a huge tin on sale which would last me about a year. </p> <p>Now I don't get free coffee at work so I'm making coffee at home everyday so I'm not sure how long the tin will last me. </p> <p>DH does not drink coffee. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-coffee-per-month#post-2686805 Wed, 25 Jan 2017 19:33:41 +0000 erinbaderin 2686805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Coffee, nothing (my husband is a different story, I think he goes to Starbucks every day plus on weekends drinks 2-3 Nespresso pods every day) but $10-$15 a week on tea and chai lattes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-coffee-per-month#post-2686797 Wed, 25 Jan 2017 19:19:12 +0000 MrsB2012 2686797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lots. We had a subscription to a bean company which was $25/month but that just finished. We buy about 2-4 nice bags of beans per month which is like $15/bag. We also usually have a bag of Costco beans which is $15, but that lasts a long time as it's not our go to, only if we are running low on better beans.<br /> On top of that we buy Starbucks frequently. I'd guess easily $100 between the two of us </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-coffee-per-month#post-2686784 Wed, 25 Jan 2017 18:59:44 +0000 jh524 2686784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I go get coffee every other day at least. Its my thing. So I bet I spend over $75 a month. Yikes...maybe I should cut back...</p> <p>@lawbee11: Youre not alone:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-coffee-per-month#post-2686762 Wed, 25 Jan 2017 18:14:36 +0000 cascademom 2686762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CatchAFallingStar: I have this problem too with the Starbucks app. I have it on automatic reload. I get Starbucks twice a week, so $10 or so on coffee. I have a mini Keurig and a huge stash of pods. I haven't bought new pods in awhile and still have candy cane ones from Christmas and a monstrous stash of pumpkin spice ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-coffee-per-month#post-2686742 Wed, 25 Jan 2017 17:38:49 +0000 ElbieKay 2686742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetiePie: I'm sure I was spending that much before I quit three weeks ago. I would stop during my commute every day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-coffee-per-month#post-2686739 Wed, 25 Jan 2017 17:36:17 +0000 ElbieKay 2686739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well I just broke my daily (weekday) coffee shop habit and started drinking coffee at home in the morning before heading to work. We buy whole beans at Costco and use a French press. I have no idea what we spend on the coffee; I just assume the price for the quality is better at Costco than it would be at the grocery store.</p> <p>I really broke my coffee shop habit because I was eating too many baked goods. The cost savings is secondary. But I guess I'll see the benefit when I run our spend analysis at the end of the month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-coffee-per-month#post-2686726 Wed, 25 Jan 2017 17:20:16 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2686726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use the Starbucks app, which gets me in a lot of trouble. I usually load $10 onto it per week, so $40/month. My only excuse is that I go to Starbucks to work on my laptop. But, still! Bad mama. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-coffee-per-month#post-2686718 Wed, 25 Jan 2017 17:15:01 +0000 Smurfette 2686718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetiePie: @lawbee11: @Mrs. Pickle: I don't drink it but DH goes 1-2 a day. I really don't want to know the total. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-coffee-per-month#post-2686717 Wed, 25 Jan 2017 17:11:04 +0000 Cole 2686717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Apparently the answer is waaay too much. I think my husband buys two $20 bags of coffee each month and then we still go to Starbucks a few times a month so probably $75. Holy moly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-coffee-per-month#post-2686712 Wed, 25 Jan 2017 17:04:54 +0000 brownepiano 2686712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to keep it to about 10$ a month. Another Nina coffee bar user here. DH didn't drink it, so I stick to about one cup a day especially since I'm still nursing. We do go to Starbucks sometimes but only as a treat. We tend to save it for when they have deals and use gift cards primarily. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-coffee-per-month#post-2686708 Wed, 25 Jan 2017 17:00:12 +0000 Bibliolove 2686708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get ground coffee from Costco and only drink a cup, so less than $10 a month for me. My husband uses nespresso and fancy ground coffee, so he spends more. Probably all together, maybe $20. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-coffee-per-month#post-2686706 Wed, 25 Jan 2017 16:57:27 +0000 youboots 2686706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About $30 of Kuerigs. 1-2 times a month out for coffee for $7 </p>
