Extreme Couponing and Amazing homemade Iced Coffee Secret!!!!
Ok, so I had such an exciting thing just happen that I had to get on here and write about it immediately. You may be wondering… what is so important to me that I have to write about… COFFEE!!!! And not just any coffee- Homemade Delicious Iced Coffee!
If anyone else is like me, I’ve been on the search for how to make the perfect iced or ice-blended coffee. You’d think it wouldn’t be that difficult. But the difficult part isn’t stirring water, coffee, cream and sugar together- it’s finding a GREAT coffee taste that doesn’t have floating pieces in it! You KNOW what I’m talking about!
So yesterday after going into Coffee Bean for my twice weekly treat of getting a latte from them, I noticed (as I’d noticed many times before) their Coffee Extract for sale. I FINALLY picked it up to see the directions on how to make Iced Coffee at home. Well, all you do is add water- so I thought. Well, might as well give it a try. I LOVE COFFEE BEAN Coffee and to my taste, it’s one of my favorite coffee tastes ever. So, I was hoping that the coffee in this would be the same.
Well, just 10 minutes ago I was having my afternoon sleepy moments and said “It’s time to try that coffee extract!” So I followed the simple directions of putting 3 oz coffee extract with 4 oz cold filtered water (They said put ice in first, but I know better than that- you need to stir it with no ice- trust me- I actually worked in a Coffee Shop for a few months, and have watched the Baristas at coffee shops as well). I then added a couple tbs lowfat creamer and 1 packet stevia, stirred and then added ice to the top!
WOW!!!!!!!!!! FINALLY HOMEMADE ICED COFFEE THAT TASTES STOREBOUGHT AND AMAZING!!!!
So here’s the MONEY SAVINGS for doing this instead of a latte out each day:
That container of coffee extract can make 10 cups of coffee. It was $12. so for the month it’d be $48 instead of $4x30 (if you go everyday and get one latte)…= $120. A savings of $72 dollars!!!! $72x 12 months= $864!!!! OR a plane ticket to Europe!!!! lol (I measure my money lost or saved by travels!) I’m 29 and FINALLY getting it together! :)
SO OH YES! A treat for my mouth and my pocketbook! :)
And speaking of other treats for our pocketbooks…I’ve recently been inspired by the TLC show Extreme Couponing. Now, I’m nowhere near as Extreme, BUT I will tell you..In the last few months by shopping smarter and following THEKRAZYCOUPONLADY.COM and now having my own Coupon Binder I’ve literally saved hundreds of dollars in just a few months. I’m not kidding.
Go to that website- check out the beginners and how to make your binder. They explain it all! The real secrets are in their book, though, which is SO affordable to order through their website (NO I’m NOT PAID to say any of this) but I know in these hard economic times a lot of us are trying to figure out how to save money! (or just pay bills, right!?!?)I was so thankful someone told me about this site (the author is one of the ones featured on the show) and I just wanted to spread the love!!!!
I’m telling you, this has CHANGED MY LIFE! Please do yourself a favor- put aside what you think couponing is-
1. Go to THEKRAZYCOUPONLADY.COM.
2. Get on their mailing list
3. Check it dailly/weekly for deals
4. Make your own binder
5. Buy their book
6. Follow their rules!
7. Coupon, Go Crazy, and save lots of money! YAY!
IT WILL CHANGE YOU and help you so much, I promise!
So, sit on down with your homemade coffee like me, start couponing (or keep it up) and say HOORAY! for taking control and still enjoying life! WOO HOO!!!!!!
