I think buying breakfast is the biggest rip-off ever. I wake up at 6:00am in the morning for work and I’m out the door by 6:45am. From taking a shower to dragging my lazy bum around the house until I get dressed, I don’t have time to eat breakfast at home. My morning regiment consists of a bowl of whole grain cereal w/ skim milk, a bowl of oatmeal w/ brown sugar, and an orange or some kind other type of fruit. To buy that at the cafe will cost me almost $4.00 a day. The oatmeal is what really gets me. A cup of oatmeal costs $1.34,yet I can make my own bowl for $o.25. Cereal costs $0.75 cents for a small box and that’s no where enough to keep me full. So I need to buy 2 boxes. The orange adds an additional $0.80. If I make my own oatmeal, bring my own cereal, and bring my own fruit, the total daily cost is about $1.70. A savings of $2.30 a day or $11.50 a week, or $46 a month or..well, you get my drift. I just love how savings just add up.

Buying breakfast is not a ripoff. You keep the economy going by helping the food business. Also, you save a minute here buying food, you add up alot of minutes in a whole year. Those saved up minutes translate to a whole lot of productivity or more time spent on blogging
