Am I the only one who tracks every single coffee purchase?

I started logging every coffee I bought in a simple spreadsheet back in January, and by March I saw I'd spent over $200 at cafes. I switched to making it at home with a $20 French press, and that one habit change is saving me nearly $80 a month. Does anyone else have a small, specific spending leak they finally plugged?

Ugh, my Uber Eats addiction was a second rent.

Feel that in my bones. The fees and tips add up so fast. Gotta start cooking again.

Started doing meal prep every Sunday and it saved me about $80 a week easy. Just batch cook rice, beans, and chicken (or whatever protein is on sale). @tessawebb totally get the Uber Eats addiction thing - I was ordering like 4 times a week before I finally snapped. Now I keep frozen veggies and pre-marinated meat on hand for quick stir-fries. Way less guilt when you see the bank statement.
