Mine did…and does again.
I am a coffee addict, and not the cheap stuff…the expensive frou frou stuff that cost us nearly $70/week (before we had children). I was lucky enough to find an instant latte mix that I loved. So for two blissful years I spent about $.40 a day for heaven in a cup.
About two weeks before Christmas my coffee mysteriously disappeared from store shelves…all of them! I could hardly believe it, but I have come to the sad conclusion that I will have to find a new favorite morning crutch. With two children under 3, I need all the help I can get at 6am.
Since my sad realization, I have spent many wasteful dollars in pursuit of happiness, to no avail! This usually results in a trip to my favorite local coffee shop on the days I get out with the kids, costing me about what I spent on the disappointing coffee at home. I need some serious help!
Amy over at MomAdvice.com posted a wonderful article today that gives me hope! I am going to try out her recipes for flavored coffee on a budget and see how it goes.
Do you have a great homemade recipe that helps save your family money? Let us know about it!
