(37,648 posts)They have specials on Starbucks coffee at Target frequently. The regular price is still about $9, I think. Walmart's regular price for Starbucks is, I think, $8, but they offer limited flavors. Starbucks pack is 12 oz. My favorites are Morning Joe, Pike's Peak, and Italian blend. But if I had to, I could drink just about any brand.
What you're doing for food sounds great, BTW. Very healthy and economical. I love stir-fry. It's fast and easy and healthy, and you can throw in a bit of whatever you have. As for red meat, I gave it up a looooong time ago. I've lost a taste for it, now, and wouldn't dream of eating it. You're better off, now that red meat has been linked to cancer.
I belong to Sam's, so I can buy bulk items that don't spoil. Since I'm single, I don't know if that saves me much money, but I think it saves me some. But I have to watch it. Sam's is geared to make people do a lot of impulse buying, and it is NOT geared for those interested in eating healthy or losing weight. My main savings at Sam's comes from fruit and veggies.
If you can use coupons, that's great. I should do that more, but I get discouraged because I use so few items that have coupons. I'll check out that link you gave, though.
