Coffee and the bottom line

It has come to my attention that I spend around $15/week for fancy coffee drinks. This includes only weekday trips to the on-campus coffee bar. On the other hand, I bring my lunch to work 3-4 days a week, so it could be worse.

Still, this means I'm spending about $60/month on coffee. Holy crap! These heady days of new home-ownership have given me the surprise gift of many new bills, and $60/month could easily cover the cable/internet I've been planning to do without. On the other hand, I enjoy my daily walk across campus, and there's no denying the simple truth: caffeine is life.

Maybe I'll just downgrade my order to a simple cuppa joe, at $1.15ish. I could drink the office swill, but it truly is some swill that is swill.
