Starbucks, the largest coffeehouse company in the world, sure has earned a lot of followers. And coupled with these big time patrons are the big bucks. Of course, it is really hard to resist that shot of espresso that starts up your day. Perhaps you even have to drive a couple of miles everyday just to get to the nearest Starbucks branch from your workplace or your home. Sure, your day is not complete without getting a cup of caramel macchiato, but has it ever occurred to you how much money Starbucks is getting from you?

Addiction to coffee is one thing, but obsession with Starbucks is another. If you are just an ordinary coffee addict, you easily get the jitters. But if you are a high-class Starbucks coffee addict, you don’t just get the jitters, you also get that gaping hole in your pocket.

If you seriously want to quit your Starbucks coffee addiction, start with making your own blend of coffee at home. You can easily make your own grande cappuccino at home, and with less money involved. Once you have resisted the urge to go to Starbucks, then that is the time for you to think about lessening your coffee intake.
