AM Routine: 5:00-5:30 Brew Coffee, Make Lunch, Check Weather
When I get up in the morning I go down to the kitchen, turn on the TV to check the weather. That will determine if I am going to ride my bike or walk to work. Then I turn on the already-set-up-to-brew-in-the-am espresso maker- I like to fill it up after I make one so it is always ready. Then I make my lunch- usually a salad, fruit, and yogart. I used to spend $40 on starbuck's coffee and $30 on lunches during the 5 day work week. Now I spend $40 for a week on groceries. That's $6 a day for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and lattes for 7 days. It is tight but doable. Stock up on espresso beans when they are on sale and freeze what you can for a rainy day.
