Yesterday, I went out with my wife for some coffee. The cost was nearly ten dollars as we ordered one regular coffee, one tall mocha and two scones. (If you know what a “tall mocha” is, you too are spending anywhere from $1.35 for a regular coffee to $2.50 for a mocha [the cost of a tall mocha at my local coffee hangout is much less expensive than the cost of the exact same cup of coffee in a major city, an airport, or hotel].) If you buy a magazine when you are waiting in line at the grocery store, it will cost you three or four dollars (O: The Oprah Magazine costs $3.95 and Martha Stewart Living costs $4.75 for a single issue). If you drink one tall mocha a day and buy one magazine such as O, you will spend at least $21.45 per week or about $3.00 a day.
