  • What's your latte?

    Meaning smallish expenses that add up over a month or year.

    I took a cold shower last night by accident, I had to wash my kids sheets and me at the same time, bad idea since both really needed hot water (daughter had a messy accident, ick!) Anyway it occurred to me that Hot showers and cable internet are my two main "lattes" . And ones that I do not plan on giving up anytime soon!

    I was wondering what anyone else's "latte" was?

    my car!...It's old and ugly, but there's NO WAY I'm taking the bus! (if my car breaks down, I ask for rides or I take a cab....I'd rather walk than take the bus!...they are dangerous here!)...

          Personal products ~ I love going to Bath & Body Works for face and body products. I do try to use coupons, but I definitely have more than I need!

            I have a personal weakness for essential oils. I just LOVE them, and keep a small collection. Fortunately, a little goes a long way....

            Oh, and also art supplies -- although I do my best to comparison shop and hit the sales whenever I can.....

              Lattes!! 16 oz, double shot, non-fat, white chocolate and coconut, no whip, 140 degrees please That's my big weakness, in fact I budget for them and gave up part of the clothing budget instead!

                  Lunch, I can't seem to make myself bring lunch to work everyday. It adds up.

                    Mine is definitely food in general. I don't like to eat oatmeal for dinner (at least very often) in order to save a few bucks. More power to you if you can though.

                        PrincessPerky,

                        Yes.. A guy here at work, every night before he goes home/school eats oatmeal. I don't know whether to be jealous or disgusted.

                            Golf. I can't master it. I can't give it up. I spend way too much money on it.

                              My morning paper and donut (or other chocolate goodie). For awhile it was McDonald's for lunch. Now I mostly brown bag it to work but every now and then I'll treat myself to a fast food lunch as a "reward".
