My Starbucks budget plan.

After some calculations, if I were to get a grande iced caramel machiatto every morning from Monday to Friday I would be spending $21.75 a week on my morning coffee.

So as an alternative, I was able to whip this up.

A 5 pack of Starbucks Iced Via Instant Coffee at $5.95 and Coffeemate Caramel Machiatto Creamer at $2.95 a bottle. So total cost per drink would come out to $1.78 a day.

So from $21.75 a week on coffee to $8.90 for a savings of $12.85 a week.
