Get rid of your Keurig This is a very simple trick: just get rid of your Keurig (or Nespresso) and you will save a disgusting sum of money every year. According to a 2015 article in The Atlantic, the tiny serving of coffee in each K-Cup ends up costing almost $40 a pound—nearly three times the price of a pound of ground Starbucks coffee.
In a Time Magazine article from the same year, Caribou brand K-Cups versus traditional ground coffee were compared, showing that one K-Cup cost 66 cents versus 28 cents, respectively. “If you make three cups a day, 365 days a year, that adds up to around $723 spent on K-Cups, versus $307 for regular coffee brewers,” the article says. So save yourself some money, and just do it the old-fashioned way.
