How much do you spend on drinks?
Have you ever sat down and calculated how much you spend on specialty drinks like coffee blendeds, smoothies and other types of drinks like this?
Let's see...the average cost of a coffee ice blended from Starbucks is about 3.95.
Let's say you get each one, twice per week. So you're spending 7.90 per week. That's almost $32 a month on these types of drinks.
Now I know people that I used to work with who get these drinks on a daily basis. I always wondered what the point was on spending so much money on a drink that costs pennies to make. I remember I had asked them, and they said, it's not the same. They also would say that I'm paying for the service. Yet they buy the drinks to go.
First off, I am not the type of person to always make my own food because it's cheaper, or whatevers, but I think in an office setting, people should know that they can have their ice blendeds essentially for free if they just tell their employer.
How? Well, all of the ingredients needed to make a a frappuccino are readily available. And I'm not talking about the frappuccino packs. You can buy the powder they use, its a chocolate smoothie mix. There's a great one by Caffe D'Amore. You take that, and a shot of your favorite espresso, some ice and blend it. Now you have your favorite specialty iced drink! You can even throw in some flavorings with Torani syrups, which you can get at your local Gelsons market or specialty foods market.
Another great drink is to take Caffe D'Amore's vanilla powder and blend it with your favorite tea. You just steep your tea as normal (loose leaf tea works best because of stronger flavor), and take 2 sccops of the vanilla powder and a cup of ice. Blend it all together and you have a great tea-ice blended!
Why would you want to do this? So you can have your favorite drink for free.
Why would your employer pay for this? The cost is a few cents more per cup than just having sick old coffee thats been sitting in the pot all day. But the main reason why your boss will do this is because over time they save money, because you are more productive at work, and because you don't have to do a Starbucks run, you have more time to finishing up on that project.
Everybody wins! So go tell your boss to incorporate this or they'll keep losing money through reduced productivity!
