Saving More Than Beans

I'm saving money! At least, I MUST be! You see, one of the most money draining habits I have is buying coffee while I'm out and about. I buy cups, especially if it's a coffee shop I'ver never tried before. In Toronto, that leaves a lot of open options. I also buy beans at a fairly frantic pace. I don't tend to drink coffee at home except in the morning. But I drink (drank, will drink) enough to go through about a pound every 2 weeks. This rabid consumption adds up to a lot of money being spent. And while my Hot chocolate consumption has definitely risen, it's nowhere near my coffee levels.

Let's be honest: I will absolutely go back to drinking coffee immediately upon month's end. But I have largely kicked the habit I believe. I have cravings but they are not anything I can't handle so far. Where I really run into trouble is in the early morning, when you are tired and just want to go back to bed. It's especially bad going to work and not having got enough sleep. That's when your body really screams out for a java or two. The desire is super strong, and I keep finding myself thinking about it. It hasn't happened yet, so I guess I'm still hanging in there!

13 days to go!?!? I've never been so glad it's not a leap year..
