Price of coffee is going up

March 15th, 2005 at 08:30 pm

I just read in the paper today, that the price of coffee is going up. It wasn't much, maybe 30-50 cents, but it made the front page. It even said that the average starbucks cup could cost over $4.00 and that the average coffee drinker has 3.4 cups/day. That's $13.60 a day!!! Wow I couldn't imagine spending that every day. I bring coffee from home...so if that goes up 30 cents, I think i'll be ok.

Sunday was relaxing. I didn't do much at all. I did end up doing some work, but I didn't have to go to the office. We made some fabulouse tillapia for dinner. It was fresh from the meat market.

Sunday = no spend day = 7/13

Monday on the other hand was horrible. My project was going out, and at the last minute every trade added another electrical device. I was expecting to just work 4 hours on it, but that turned into the whole day. I was so exhausted. I even got up an hour early to get to work.

Then right after I got home, I had to head out to my condo association meeting. I'm a board member at large (I guess that's my title). I figure it's my first step to political office, if I ever go that way. So our usual meeting was over in 45 minutes, but then I found out that we had 2 complaint hearings. That was a learning experience about the they said/I said dispute. we found both guilty, but only one had a fine of $50. I hope both get resolve. They were between neighbors. People need to talk more with each other.

Monday = no spend day = 8/14 I finally beat the 50% mark.

Tuesday is going well so far. It's a bit more relaxed, but I'm still getting stuff done. It's looking like today will be another no spend day. I'm going to put together stew tonight for the crockpot tomorrow for dinner. So I'm going to predict my spending today and stick to it.

Tuesday = no spend day = 9/15

    It seems like Starbucks just increased their prices in the last year or so. I know my tall latte is $2.60 now, instead of $2.50. Bummer if it goes up again.
