How much do you spend on coffee? Get it for less

So obviously the cheapest fix is to make it yourself.  Think about how much you spend just stopping to grab a cup joe everyday on the way to work.  Lets just say it is about $3.50 for your latte and of course you might need a little "with it" so that adds another $2.50 now you're up to six bucks and you haven't thrown the rest of your change into the tip bucket yet.  Lets say you do that 5 days a week. That is $30.00 a week multiply that by 52 That is $1560.00 a year.  What can you do with $1500?  So here are a couple of ways to save.  Go to Coupons.com  and find a coupon for Eight O'Clock Coffee and Caribou Coffee.  They also have coupons for Tetley Tea and Good Earth Tea if you're not a coffee lover and make it at home.  If you still want the convenience of  having someone else make it for you, you can stop by the register counter (there is a stack of cards right on the counter next to all the impulse purchase stuff) of Ace Hardware in Vail and get a card for a $1.00 off at the drive thru Xpresso coffee shop right in the Ace parking lot.  Now start thinking about what you're going to do with $1500 extra bucks!
