Coffee Talk – Wish Jar Tip #15

This week at the market, Safeway had 12 oz. cans of coffee (Yuban) for $1.99 (with the club card). My Rubbing Nickels mentality wouldn’t allow me to pass it up but I knew that I might have a difficult time with the cheaper coffee’s flavor given that I’m a long-time customer at both Peet’s and Starbucks. I had a thought, though. What if I were to mix the Yuban with a flavored gourmet coffee. It was worth a try. This morning, I mixed Yuban with coffee from a local roaster called Peerless Vanilla Nut Cream ($9.99 per 10 oz.) and it was nicely flavorful and highly drinkable. The most important part is that I can put at least $8.00 per week in my Wish Jar towards my Ladies’ Weekend trip (it’ll buy 1/2 of a Grey Goose martini).
