Ways to buy more books!

So, I've been thinking lately about all the times I'm out shopping for whatever reason and I think to myself, I really want some sort of coffee drink. I'm absolutely addicted to lattes and I really have decided I spend too much on them when I could be buying books instead. Last week I received an email from CSN stores, who sell all sorts of stuff, and I began brainstorming what I would want from them for review, maybe a new bookshelf, something decorative for my bed, an espresso machine or maybe something else. It wasn't that hard to decide, even though they have over 200 stores!

So, what did I decide I wanted? An espresso maker! So I can make my own lattes and save money to spend on books!

Doesn't it look fabulous?


How about you? Are you a big fan of lattes or addicted to any other kind of expensive drink?

  1. I do love lattes, but I don't buy too many any more. Fancy drinks are a splurge item for me, usually if I'm going out for coffee with friends, and I try to use gift cards for them. Making coffee at home definitely saves a lot of money!

  2. I love coffee. My friend is teaching me how to make the best cup too! I sometimes buy coffee when I go out (gotta love that Dark Cherry Mocha), but most of the time I make it at home. What am I addicted to? Sonic Happy Hour! I love their ice and can get an iced tea unsweetened with extra ice for $1.00 and munch on the ice all afternoon! I'm all about the bargain.

    I hope you get the espresso maker to review! That would be awesome.

  3. I'm definitely addicted to lattes and frappacinos but I don't get them very often. Normally it's when my friends and I decide to meet up, especially over the summer when we don't see each other every day at school. I hope that you like your espresso maker!

  4. I'm more for frappes and flavored hot coffees. Love 'em! Hope it works out for you. :)

  5. I don't drink hot drinks but I am addicted to coca-cola. It is cheap and everything but the amount I drink everyday turns it into a more expensive habit. Basically coca-cola is my replacement for coffee. Hope your espresso maker works out for you.

  6. I'm a tea person, myself. Leaf tea, no bags. Mmmm I'm thirsty just thinking about it. :D

  7. I am strictly a water girl, though I do enjoy a coffee now and then. But still, the espresso maker seems so sleek, I'm tempted to get one. :)

  8. Mm. That looks awesome - I'm a coffee lover but just don't have time a lot.

    What I've done is purchased a Starbucks card and each month load it with $10. Once the money is gone, it's gone for another month. Then I have more money to spend on books!

  9. I'm more of a frapp person. That's a nice espresso maker you got there! Hope your plan works well!

  10. I drink an iced coffee every morning. I prefer a medium, with milk only. It's $2.40, which seems like a small price to pay for a full day of sanity and patience.

    Have fun with that espresso machine!

  12. It's cool that you get to review an espresso maker. I don't drink a lot of coffee, I'm more of a tea person.

  13. I'm a total coffee addict. It's going to be the death of me (but what a delicious way to go!). I've never really considered having my own espresso machine since I'm usually running late, and I'm usually on the go. Translated: I'm too lazy to get up an extra 5 minutes early for homemade espresso.

    Good luck! I had a fantastic interaction with CSN, and I hope you do too!

  14. I'm addicted to caramel frapps and machiatos. It's dangerous to my bank account! Have fun with the new espresso machine =D

  15. I like the way you think both in relation to lattes and the need to buy more books.

    Seahn

  16. I am not a coffee person. But I love smoothies and those can be equally as pricey. I have often considered getting a blender, but well then Id have to buy the fruit, etc as well. And then I go out and get one pre-made. Someday.

  17. ROFL - this is a genius idea! I was just talking to people about ways to fund books the other day...I decided I'd busk on the streets, LOL LOL.

    But this idea is much more creative! :D

  18. I love mocha frapaccinos from starbucks, but I wouldn't get them often cause I can't really have milk. But now they make them with soy milk for an extra 50 cents so now every time I pass a starbucks I end up getting one (thankfully there aren't too many in my area or I would really be in trouble.) I don't know how I would make one at home though....
