must.have.{coffee}.NOW.

Every morning, my husband makes and thoroughly enjoys his french vanilla or hazelnut "whatever-brand-I-could-find-on-sale" coffee with plenty of sugar and creamer... like most people do, I'm sure.  It smells wonderful, but I can't see how he can even taste the coffee!  I suppose I am the pickiest coffee drinker I know because I only like my morning cuppa joe very strong with no sweeteners, no creamer, just black.  The only coffee I like more than Starbucks Italian VIA is pure, incredible, flavorful $30/lb 100% Kona straight from Hawaii... just slightly out of our budget...ahem! :))

Speaking of the budget... the wonderful thing about VIA is that I.love.it.... but, the bummer about VIA is that it costs almost $1 per cup of coffee.  That's cheaper than going to Starbucks for my latte, but still not so economical in terms of regular ol' coffee.  I try using coupons when I can, but they aren't always easy to come by.
  

Yesterday, I thought I would just check amazon.com to see how much it would cost there.  I had to get a box of 50 (so, two months worth), but it was only .58 per packet!!  Yep, my budget it tight and it took me awhile to figure out what I could cut from this month to buy two months worth of coffee, but I figured it out and am pretty darn excited to be cutting my coffee bill almost in half!  Cheers!

There simply are not enough ways to express our thanks to everyone using our amazon.com affiliate link when you shop.  So far this quarter, we've been able to add over $100 to our adoption fund just from people buying what they were going to buy anyway, but who took the time to enter the amazon.com website through our blog sidebar, or anything I've linked to in my posts (like the VIA above) or just by bookmarking this link: http://amzn.to/iVTHDU ...THANK YOU for remembering our family when you shop!
