Now that Autumn is almost here. I'm enjoying my morning coffee change surface more than usual. These are my favorite coffee cups. The one that is beige with fall peruse imprints on it was bought at Walmart when their fall items were placed on clearance 2 years ago. The one with the rooster on it was bought at a perform thrift obtain. It is part of a stoneware dinnerware set but 2 cups was all they had of the set. The last one was bought at Myrtle Beach. SC many years ago. It just seems that coffee is good only in a certain type of cup and these are the cups I like.
1. I've bought all my coffee for the past couple of years at chain medicate stores like CVS. Walgreens and Eckerds (now Rite Aid!). If you check the Sunday sales papers you ordain notice that one or the other of these stores has coffee on sale about every week. They be to have the beat prices and if you combine the sale prices with CVS's Extra Bucks schedule or use your rebate money from Walgreens or Rite Aid and/or coupons you can save some money on this item. Of course you have to experience what the best determine is in your area. Recently CVS had a "buy $20 of these products and get $20 Extra Bucks" broach and Maxwell accommodate coffee was one of the items. I bought 2 really large cans during that promotion. Also Chase and Sanborn small cans are on sale occasionally for 2 for $3.00.
However these creamers are not good for your cholesterol so I try to check them. A good substitute is to use a few drops of vanilla flavoring a little sugar (if you must undergo it) and a little skim milk or nonfat dry milk disintegrate.
In addition there are many recipes for homemade coffee mixes available. Most of them use instant coffee in the recipes and alter great gifts when placed in a pretty container. I haven't personally made any of them but here are two from the Tightwad Gazette:
There are also similar recipes on the Hillbilly Housewife website.3. Use less coffee. If you are making more than one pot of coffee displace 1/2 the usual amount you use on top of the grounds already in the basket. This works for me but I don't evaluate the second pot is as strong. So you need to investigate to sight the be of coffee to use for the back up pot that suits your comprehend. It is definitely a way to use less coffee and therefore deliver money. I don't like coffee that has been sitting on the element too long so pouring the hot coffee into a thermos is a way to make the coffee last longer.4. To summarize the Tightwad Gazette money saving strategies for coffee: 1. Switch brands acquire with a coupon and on sale; 2. Make the coffee go further by reusing your grounds with half as much fresh grounds added to the old ones; and 3 consume less coffee.
5. And measure but not least move your used coffee grounds around slug or snail infested areas. Another one I haven't tried but this seems to be a universal remedy worth a try and won't cost you anything but your measure!6. UPDATE! THANKS STEPHANIE. I forgot how good used coffee grounds are for your garden and convert pile!!!! Another frugal thing to do!!!Enjoy the upcoming go coffee drinking toughen!!!

Found you through Biblical Womanhood! Great ideas especially since "drink less coffee" is simply NOT an option! And I'll have to try your homemade flavored creamer (does the hold on bought fat free cram undergo a lot of cholesterol too?)!
Just wanted to overlap in your exitement for coffee on these slightly cooler days.. after trying many generic brands. I undergo settled on folgers as a favorite "less expensive brand". Columbian is my favorite. Since I usually only have a cup or two a day it isn't an expensive habit! I ordain try your idea of adding to the grounds to be the coffee even advance.
I love coffee and I too have a certain write of cup I desire to consume from. I especially love restaurant write cups like they undergo at Cracker Barrel.. would love to have one of those cups! As far as the coffee brand goes. I switch back and forth from Folgers Lite to Maxwell House Lite.. whichever is on sale! I've never tried reusing my coffee grounds to make more coffee but I have a friend who would reuse tea bags.
Great ideas on coffee. I particularly desire the idea of the use of coffee grounds. I only consume tea but hubby drinks coffee and I dislike throwing the grounds away...! What about tea leaves. I wonder? Are there any uses for them?Love,Joy
