How I save a Buck.

While in Tucson, my friend Mistie had this awesome venti-sized Starbucks tumbler that she made me a tasty iced coffee drink in. I wanted that cute cup so badly, but they sell for upwards of $50 on Amazon! Crazy!

While walking through good ole WalMart shortly after that, I found they sell the same reusable, BPA free, 24oz tumbler for $5! Steal! (today I went back to get a couple more and they were sold out. boo.)
I now make my own iced coffee to start my day out with. My office job calls for coffee. I need it.

All I do now, instead of hitting up the real deal, is brew 12 cups of coffee in my pot. I used the Sams Club coffee (hey, it works).
I put in into a pitcher and let it refrigerate. Most people make iced coffee extra strong, so when they pour it HOT over ice it dilutes a bit. If you make it ahead there is no need to make the coffee extra strong.

Then, every morning, I fill my cup with ice, add the coffee, and some Silk Chocolate soymilk!
Its so yummy!!

Saves a lot of time and money! And its a bit healthier, since I only add the soymilk, no other sugar or fat.
I am hooked.

Pin It!
