TIL my dad was right about the 'latte factor'

He always said to track my coffee runs, and I finally did it for a month. It was over $120, so I got a cheap French press and now I make it at home. Anyone else have a small habit that added up way more than you thought?

Oh, that's smart to actually track it. Mine was bottled water. I felt silly buying it, but kept grabbing one at the gas station. It wasn't just the cost, it was all that plastic piling up. Getting a filter pitcher felt like solving two problems at once.

My gas station coffee habit was a real problem, like a five dollar bill vanishing every morning. I finally bought a decent travel mug and a bag of ground coffee. It tastes better, and I'm not just tossing a cup in the trash before 9 AM. That little change saved so much money and guilt.
