Why should I pay for overpriced coffee at coffee shops...?

Question

like Starbucks, when I could just buy a bag of Starbucks coffee or other brand and brew it at home. One bag costs about $7 and I can make at least 25 cups from it. That would save me hundreds of dollars a year if I drink every day.

Answer 1

At Starbucks you are paying for "atmosphere" more or less.

Answer 2

You shouldn't! Go ahead and be a smart consumer, no one is stopping you!

Answer 3

Why???????  So you can look cool like everyone else.  lol  So you're part of the "In" crowd.

Answer 4

idk.

I don't drink coffe, btw

Answer 5

So you can spend 4 dollars on a cup of coffee, sit in public and either (a) talk on a cell phone, or (b) furiously type on a laptop and make sure everyone else is watching you ignoring them.

Answer 6

Your paying for service & well, service isn't cheap.

Answer 7

Didn't you just answer your own question? I do the same thing - I buy ground coffee from Gloria Jeans and make it in a little plunger at work - saves me heaps of money and I still get yummy coffee - not to mention that I'm helping the environment by not using take away coffee cups every day.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Answer 12

To be 'Kewl' you Must be the lemming...

Get in Line and follow the crowd. The ONLY way you can show your 'individuality' is to dress like everyonme else, eat where everyone else eats, drink what everyone one else drinks and ABOVE ALL, whip out that 29.9% credit card (Like everyone else) to pay for your 'unique' lifestyle. Remember VISA takes life....

Ya want to be uncool, unlike everyone else....Buy your coffee beans GREEN and roast them yourself for maximum freshness and flavor, the best tasting coffee around...and A Whole lot cheaper than the bags of stale Big Boys coffee.

ALSO...I have some of the coolest coffee mugs my kids have gotten me over the years...Makes the paper mermaid look like a piece of floatsom.

Answer 13

you can do whatever you want, if your worried about a couple hundred bucks a year. big deal!!!!

Answer 14

You dont have to buy nothing... less coffee that's overpriced.  If you want good quality you dont have to rely only on brand names.  Sony right now isnt the best electronic company out there, yet its name has a reputation... For the same price that you would get maybe 2 or 3 cups of coffee at Starbucks I bet you can get a bag of a better quality coffee that would make even more than 25 cups of coffee.  Dont buy nice service nor cool cups that only go to the trash

Answer 15

Yeah, by right u shouldn't. U can actually save up that money for other uses. However, once in a while is ok, to pamper yourself.
