McDonalds vs. Starbucks

Starbucks addiction is one thing that helps keep people broke.  When a cup of coffee can reach $5, your money can be frittered away in a hurry.  It's called the latte factor by financial planners.  Starbucks convenience food items can also add up.  Fortunately, there are ways to break away from Starbucks before it breaks your budget. 

When it comes to coffee, size matters.  Here is a McDonalds Small and a Starbucks Grande

If you like Starbucks. you owe it to yourself to try McDonalds.  The iced hazelnut coffee at McDonalds is awesome.  Their Mocha and Iced Mocha are very good.  But, their Mocha Frappe is out of this world.  Plus, with all day breakfast available it's easy to get something tasty with your coffee.   Plus, McDonalds prices are affordable.  You can get McDonalds for half the price of Starbucks.  That keeps money in your pocket.  Plus, you don't have to keep track of tall, grande, venti, and trente.  McDonalds speaks English with Small, Medium, and Large.

Of course, if you want to save even more money, you can simply make your coffee at home for pennies on the dollar!
