by Most of us start our mornings the same way: we stumble out of the house and before facing the daily grind, swing by our favourite coffee spot.
After waiting in line for a little sip of sanity, we hardly stop to think how much we could save a year if we just missed this step in our morning routine.
We looked around at the cost of coffee at various coffee shops across South Africa. We also worked out what you could save by cutting out your caffeine fix every single day for a year (365 cups of coffee). The results are quite surprising!
