20-30 ounces a day? That's gotta be more than the 1.65$ for the cup you said he would get in the morning.
Anyways, I'm really loving this thread. It totally agrees with my perspective on buying.
I think one of the biggest money drains on a person(other than a vice) are the little things- the 1-5$ items people buy because it doesn't have the bite of a larger purchase. Like pop/chips from a vending machine. You're paying a lot for them packaging it and putting it in a machine. If you go out and eat at McDonalds every couple of days, that's at least 10$ a week, or 40$ a month. And if you have a cuppa jo every morning as well, that's another 50$ a month. That's just food. There are tons of little things that you can buy for just a few of your hard earned dollars, and the sheer volume of these little things take a sizeable chunk of your salary. You don't need it, just let the impulse pass and you'll forget all about that neat keychain you saw or that magazine next to the counter.
