For my work-in-office days, I spare no expense in making sure I get my free coffee from the office pantry.
It’s just a way for me to feel better and “reward” myself for coming to the office to work. It’s a part of the office perks.
The office coffee also helps me save time as I don’t need to head out to queue and buy my cuppa.
In my area, it costs US$3 per cup and I usually have one cup every workday. This costs me US$15 a week, or US$60 a month. I can potentially save US$720 a year!

Because of this, I even stopped drinking my morning coffee at home and waited until I reached the workplace before I got my caffeine fix.
Some people may think that I am a cheapo, but I don’t care. I know I am able to save more money in my savings account!
These small purchases do add up and over time they become more and more expensive. I am glad to have avoided this lifestyle trap.
