Saving Money
Heres a tip to city mouse from country mouse. You enjoy refreshing beverages? Prehapes you have an exotic taste for delicious eastern tea? That way when you drink it, you can feel all fancy with your hard to pronounce drink and your big brain and big words. You think to yourself 'I need to go to a special coffee shop where they service my frivilous impules'. So you walk into starbux "Gimee a Chai Latte" you say's to the half crazy baristo. Only thats when youre big brain just plum stops thinking. You hand over some extravagent amount of money and you get milked instead of the other way around. So heres a Tip City mouse, go next door to the grocery store and buy yourself some chai tea mix, the same stuff they sold you at the coffee shop only you get 10x the amount of refreshing beverage for the same price. You can still staisfy your need to feel better than everyone else; only this way you are at the least, a little richer.

You can buy tea by the box at Starbucks. I got a box of some red tea stuff for like $5. It came with 20 tea bags I think? Something like that.
Speaking of overpriced coffee and such, I had a meeting with Jim from international coffee. Jim owns the company I bought my new coffee makers from for my place of employment. When the dust settled after well 6 or 7 cups of coffee I had spent close to $55 000 on coffee making machines. But on the flip side of that where I work you can get a latte for $1.50 made by espresso machines far superior to the ones used at second cup or star bucks. So where I work not only can you give your ego a boost by drinking your skim milk decaffeinated, with extra sugar free sugar added latte, you can also save your wallet a little pain, that is if you stay away from the entertainment.
