How many times a week do you buy coffee?
I've been making mine at home for a few years and it saves so much money! I rarely purchase coffee now - except if on a road trip. But, this week, I've bought 2 lattes (bad week, son sick). I feel guilty!

Maybe once a month, probably even less, I'll buy a fancy coffee.

Almost never. I have a Keurig at work and we grind and brew our own at home on the weekends

I used to work next door to a Starbucks so once or twice a week. Now that I work elsewhere, more like once or twice a month.

Nowadays I only buy coffee as a special treat, maybe once or twice a month.

I dont buy coffee but some weeks I buy hot chocolate a lot and that adds up. This week I bought a medium hot chocolate once from DD. Most days I make it from home

I used to get one daily when I was working. There were two coffee shops within walking distance of my office. Now, maybe once a month? I have a starbucks GC that I am using, but I am being cheap with it!

We usually make coffee at home but sometimes when we are not seeing much of each other my dh and I will go through spurts of getting coffee together at Starbucks in the morning. It is a nice way to squeeze a little extra happiness out of the day.
Actually, I think that happiness thing its key for me-- if I go everyday I don't get nearly as much joy out of it. In fact it can almost seem like a chore and paying $4 for a chore is absurd!

I usually just make coffee at home. I only buy it if I'm out at home and don't realize until it's already morning and too late to go to the store before work. When I *do* buy coffee, I actually prefer the cheap gas station coffee, where I get my choice of different flavor creamers. I also always get a small (since I'm pregnant), so it's only like... $1.15.
My bigger money suck lately is buying water bottles at gas stations, since they are more expensive there. I have refillable bottles that I bring from home, but I'm just *so* thirsy these days, so I'm always stopping after work to buy a second bottle. My job doesn't have a water cooler or even a decent water fountain. It's ridiculous.

I buy it about once a week but only if I take the bus. That was my reward for saving gas and bring green. I usually sleep on the bus so if I get to the city and I'm still a little groggy, I'll stop at Starbucks. I am a gold member so I get a free drink after 12 purchases.

When the kids were little little I would go to sbux just to get out of the house once or twice a week. Now we make coffee and chai at home, sooooooo much cheaper and more convenient. We do still get sbux when traveling or when family is in town.

Rarely. I drink tea. There's an Argo tea in Chicago where I get delicious chai lattes and earl grey cream lattes. I rarely go these days since caffeine seems to negatively effect my milk production. I keep tea at my desk. I only go to Starbucks for their spinach & feta wraps, chai lattes and hot chocolate are usually secondary.

I very seldom get coffee to go from a coffee shop; if I go, it's to meet up with someone or to sit there and read a book or get something done. So while it's expensive, I also see it as "entertainment," not just a beverage. Pre-baby, probably once every week or two. Baby is now almost 6 weeks old, and I don't think I've been to a coffee shop at all!

Ever since we got our Keurig at home, very rarely! Like you, @winniebee:, only usually for a special road trip or something!

I really only buy it when I have a gift card to do so. I have been so much better the past month and have been making coffee at home and taking it with me. I find I need it these days...

1-2x per week. I usually meet up with DH during our lunch break.
DH has a coffee habit. He buys at least 1x per day if not 2!

A couple of times a week, but it's very rarely the expensive kind. Mostly I make it at home, but once in a while I'll get a small latte as a treat.

Starbucks is a special thing now, reserved for flights, road trips, etc. I used to be SO bad about it when I was single!

Like once a month. I have coffee with breakfast before I leave in the morning, so it's rare I have it out since I don't drink coffee after breakfast.

Rarely, maybe once every two months. But I don't like Starbucks so that helps! When I was working, I bought at least 2 coffees a day.

I buy it once a week or so, usually on the weekend. Last week they took forever to make my drink so I got a free drink coupon and went back the next day, too

My boss buys Starbucks 2x A DAY. A DAY!
