Talking Silly Expenses

I spend over $1,000.00 on drinks per month. LOL.

Dammit! I keep reminding myself to stop doing that...





, anyone else have a funny spending habit?

Lawn care business tips
WOW what are you buying?

Is this like daily Gatorade purchases or other types of drinks?

Our Star Bucks on this side of the line is Tim Horton's, coffee is amazing as is the food. They sell a product called an Ice Capp, OMG once you have one you are hooked and I mean big time, I do not know of a cold coffee drink that can touch it, at one point past year I was drinking 3 to 4 a day, aside from the caffine they are an excellent cold drink.......that would add up to about $400 a month

I bet most of us would be shocked if you kept a daily record of every cent you spent, for say three months then put it into an excel spreadsheet. Years ago I offered financial counselling through the community centre, It was part of something I needed to do for credits on a domestic economic development course, people in the class were shocked especially when it came to eating out, coffee and cigarette's.

That is why I take a 2 gallon water jug with me each day.
My big weakness is Coffee and Coke.
If I didn't have the water I would be sucking back cans of coke like there was no tomorrow and I would weight 500 lbs.
I like my water and its good for me and Cheap.
