Perhaps one way of saving money, albeit a few cents at a time, would be through discount coffee. This does not always mean that one necessarily is doomed to buy cheap coffee for the rest of your life. There are other ways in which you can save money and realize a “want” dream over time.
Buying coffee beans at your local supermarket as opposed to freshly ground coffee from a specialist shop is a way in which to make a saving. Even if you purchase the beans from a Starbucks as opposed to freshly ground, a saving can be made. So, no -you do not need to wait for free coffee opportunity to save money.

You do not always have to purchase organic coffee. Although there are many good reasons to purchase organic coffee, it unfortunately is often more expensive that regular coffee.
The same applies to a gourmet blend of coffee. These can be treats once or twice a year. In between prudent choices when shopping - focusing on discount coffee – can save a consumer a significant amount of money.
The point of this exercise is not to run Starbucks coffee into the ground of to boycott such products. The purpose of this exercise is to save money and thereby accumulate funds which can pay for a treat.
Savings can be reinforced by making use of coupons. An interesting site to watch would be gotmineforless.com. Here coffee coupons were put up for auction at discounted prices.
This would also be a way to save some money. Some coffee companies offer coupons if you register on their official websites and supply them with your email and postal address.
Many people say that coffee with discount tastes the same way it is priced – cheap. That would be grossly unfair to many brands of coffee that are having promotion that are well priced and deliver in taste as well.
Another way to save is be aware of flavored coffee brands. Again, is this necessary? One does not have to sacrifice one’s “coffee habit” if one wants to save money at the same time.
Such financial prudence applied across other purchasing patterns could in fact lead to significant saving in any household. I am absolutely sure that there is no household anywhere that is not interested in saving a little money.
OCM (OnCoffeeMakers.com) was started in 2007 with the first webpage about coffee machines. And for a number of years, we focused on helping people find their desired coffee machine (we still are helping folks with that!
