Like Starbucks, or similar.
We have a local coffee shop that's just like a Starbucks I'll grab maybe 1-2 times a month and Starbucks maybe once every 5-6 weeks just based on location. I love me some "fancy" coffee but my wallet doesn't. I wish I could splurge on it daily!

Maybe just once on the weekends when DH and I are walking around the city.

Maybe once a week or every other?
I like it as a "treat" but not as a real coffee.

Um.... like 3-4 days per week.

We have a local *adorable* coffee shop that has their own creamer they make and it's delicious! I'd go every day if I could. But lately, we've gotten it once or twice a week. They have a little play area in the front that my DD loves so that's also a draw on rainy or cold days!

I make lattes at home every morning (and some afternoons...). I get coffee out when we're away from home or as a special treat maybe every couple of months?

Probably 1-2x per month of out for breakfast or as a treat. We make one pot of French press in the morning and then drink drip at work.

Before DS a lot, now I just make my own at home and wait for specials. So in the last two weeks 2-3 times but none the last few months.

Like once every month or two max. It just isn't really in my routine. And its annoyingly expensive. But we tend to wind up with a lot of SB gift cards because they give them out at DH's work a lot and he doesn't drink coffee. So I go occasionally to use those up.

Just Tim Hortons a couple times a week probably. There isn't anywhere to go around here. The closest Starbucks is 2.5 or so hours away!!
There is a nice coffee shop in the town over but it takes soooo long for them to make it. It's annoying to go with DS.

Too often. I don't drink coffee but love Starbucks chai lattes - I try to keep it to twice a week because it really adds up, plus there's so much sugar in them. I bought my husband a Nespresso for his birthday that has an amazing milk steamer so I've been making my own chai lattes at home lately (with real tea = less sugar) and that's helped cut down on my weekend habit.

Starbucks every day when I'm working, often twice a day. (But I only get drip coffee, no fancy drinks even when I earn free rewards.) I was feeling guilty about spending so much money on coffee esp when you consider that I often buy coffee for my crew as well but my husband, also a pilot and an even bigger coffee addict, gave me some reassurance saying a couple dollars a day is nothing for helping me stay alert and do my job.

Once a week probably. When we lived in SD, it was more often because we had 4 local coffee shops within walking distance. Now I just have Starbucks. 
We get our beans from a local guy though and that's fancy to me.

probably 2-4x a month. we have a sbux but there is a local coffee shop in walking distance from my office so I go there a good bit! It isn't too pricey though because I try to get a Cafe Au Lait the majority of the time and it is only like 2 bucks and some change!

I've managed to end my Starbucks addiction and we don't have a local coffee shop near where we live so we grind and have fancy coffee at home - maybe buy a couple fancy bags once every 6 weeks now and when we run out - we buy whatever is at Target or on sale at the grocery store.

Generally only on the weekends, or if I'm out of coffee at work. I don't think Starbucks coffee is great quality, and I buy good coffee to drink as my regular coffee so I really only go when we are out and about, or if I want a latte.

like 6 times per week. Every weekday morning and about once on the weekend.

Once every other week or so. It used to be more until I realized how much money I was spending.

About 3 times a week. I cut back after getting pregnant. Before that it was 6 times a week!

Like 3 or 4 times a year. There aren't any super close to us, so when I'm already lugging the kids 30 or 40 minutes away from home, I don't want to spend another 10 sitting in a drive through to drop 6 bucks on a cup of coffee. I wish I drank it more often. I just don't feel the pay off is worth the time and monetary expense.

For awhile it was only a few times a month. But we ran out of coffee and I'm so busy I hardly even have time to grocery shop - so it's been more like 3-4x a week the last couple weeks! I know I need to cut back though.

Brew bux drip coffee at home daily, probably 1-2x a week for bux drive through or on a target run!

Hardly ever now that I SAH. When I was working full time, I'd get Tim Hortons once or twice a week. I had a 45 minute commute so I usually made it at home and drank it on the way in a travel mug.

I go through phases of going 3-4 times a week (like now...), but usually just on the weekends. If we had a decent coffee place closer I'd probably go more often if my bank account would let me.

I wish I supported my local coffee shops more but in reality maybe every other month? And same with Starbucks. So average once a month?
pomegranate / 3716 posts
Maybe 2 - 3x a month. Used to be more often when I was meeting clients at Starbucks, but now I have my own office space so I don't have the temptation as often!

I go through phases. Mostly just once / week. But sometimes I really get into it and go a few times a week.
