This is my first blog post in 2012 and I thought it would only be appropriate to start off the New Year with a “challenge”.
Most challenges are about fitness and some are about food. I even read a blog post many years ago about a challenge to try a different beer for 365 days but this challenge is about SPENDING HABITS and COFFEE.
Like many of you, I drink coffee on a regular basis. But…I only drink it in a coffee shop. I never make it at home. NEVER. I haven’t owned a coffee maker since 1990. However all this has changed, when Tassimo sent me a coffee maker to try. When it arrived, I opened the box eagerly, read the manual (which is so unlike me) and started to make coffee. I even invited friends over for coffee and when I hosted a wine/cheese party, we all gathered round the Tassimo to watch the machine in action.
Needless to say: I am thrilled with my Tassimo. I am so happy that I am going to challenge myself to only drink coffee at home for the month of January. I am determined to save $$ (at least 50 dollars) and I’m determined to embrace my Tassimo.
Enjoying a coffee AT HOME!!
What do you think? Even better…who wants to join me on this challenge?
Disclosure: I received the Tassimo, but was under no pressure to blog about it. The opinions in this blog entry are my own.
I am all over this challenge! I have a keurig and just got a dolce gusto for Christmas. I was never a coffee / hot drink person because I only ever got them while and and it was so expensive. Now I’m a latte addict! Can’t wait to see how much I save!
Good challenge here Vicki … I am gonna challenge myseldf for the month of
Great Challenge. I have a Keurig that my sister bought me. I love it too. I too like coffee shop coffee – in fact that is where I sometimes see you – it all depends what carpool I have to do if I take a cup with me on the road in the morning or if I stop for one – I like to drink my coffee on the way to work.
Good luck with that, the Gevalia Espresso makes Starbucks taste Bland and now I drink 3 a day!!! that means my spending has gone up because my family drink my Espresso too!
