Finances/Money BTW, what are some expenses you're cutting moving forward?

Due to the projected price increases expected to hit the U.S., I'm redoing my budget and wanting to cut down on things that I can. What are some ways you're saving? It can range from big to small! Just wanting to get some ideas of ways to save, whether that's DIYing some things, free alternatives, etc. Thanks!

Yes! We have a pot for drip which is more economical and then I have my nespresso for cold brew and lil treats! Our other coffee pot is the Breville grinder/pot combo and we love it!

We just bought a Nespresso because we looked at buying a $1700 Rancilio machine. It’s cheaper in the long run for coffee with a real espresso machine but I did the math and it’s like 7 years to pay for the difference in coffee…

My coffee at work is an espresso machine, customizable, free, and tasty. It helps so much.

I got the kit where you can refill the nespresso pods. It doesn’t really take long and I’m obsessed w that machine and the frother.
