I had my car serviced today and I noticed that they were offering free coffee as well. It was actually freshly made and flavorful.

I really like Dunkin Donut’s coffee. This coming Tuesday, DD is selling its iced coffee for fifty cents (16 oz). That is not free but it is darn close to free!

Thanks David for the great post.

My favorite bookstore, Half Off, offers free coffee and tea, which is lovely when you are leisurely browsing at their books, magazines, stationary, DVDs, Cds, etc.
I don’t drink coffee at all, but I do enjoy tea. In fact…I LOVE IT!! :>)
Thank you for allowing me to comment.

I recently made the switch from the every morning Starbucks stop to brewing my own at home and it really does save a ton of money!

Also, a little trick for those who prefer lattes to regular coffee: to get that light airy texture of steamed milk, use a blender to whip up the milk before adding it to your coffee.

I roast coffee and drink plenty of it at home, but there is nothing like a good coffee and conversation at a coffee shop.

I don’t drink coffee on the run but I have found my own way to save on coffee. I descovered Nescafe Tasters Choice that comes 6 individual packets in a box for about .89 cents at WalMart and comes reg. or decalf and is really good!! I can have it anytime day or nite without brewing a full pot. I used to drink International Coffee in flavors but it was a lot more expensive and had more calories.

Jennifer — Thanks for your comment. Just to be clear, yes I do attend the church that I referenced, and I contribute to the church that I referenced. I also shop at the grocery store that I mentioned.

As for it being extreme to stop just for a free cup of coffee, I don’t think it is any more extreme than it is for people to stop at a coffee shop and by a cup of coffee. That was not my point, however. My point was that if we look around, we can find free coffee (and tea). I am not suggesting mercenary behaviour but observant behaviour.
