Day 11 Challenge:

DIY Coffee Day: Skip the coffee shop — make your favorite drink at home. (Save: $5–$7)

Today, I made a decaf latte at home. It’s crazy to think I used to drink at least 2 big mugs of regular coffee each day and now it’s an occasional treat for me to drink a decaf latte (I can’t stand regular decaf, but in a latte, I can enjoy it!) I couldn’t have imagined the day where I just would be fine without coffee on a day-to-day basis, but here we are and I’m so much calmer as a result!

Since a decaf latte is a special treat for me and not a daily thing, technically you could say I didn’t really save anything by making my own — because I wouldn’t have gotten one at the coffee shop today! But, I’m going to go ahead and count it since I did follow the challenge. By the way, if you are looking for other coffee shop at home type drinks, be sure to check out my Strawberry Lemonade Soda recipe from yesterday + my Homemade Lavender London Fog recipe.

A latte at Starbucks in our area is $5.25, so with the latte savings added to my total, we are at $100.50 found/saved so far with the challenge. Woohoo!! I didn’t know if I’d make it to $100, but I did!

How much have you saved/found so far as part of the challenge?
