Have you had your cup of coffee today? Here’s a coffee-related personal finance secret:

I realized that if I did my budgeting over my morning cup of coffee I could use the addiction “for the powers of good”. Mind sharp, start of the day — a great time to check the virtual checkbook and make sure nothing had gone forgotten from the budget the day before. This habit has helped me quite a bit.

Coffee consumption can be a budget buster, as described in this Money Confession.

Ever wondered how your coffee consumptions stacks up with other Geezeo users? Here’s a peek:

Last month, the average money spent at Dunkin’ Donuts was $5.92. That was up from an average of $5.21. By contrast, Starbucks coffee consumption fell from $6.09 average per user to $5.54. Starbucks: what’s happening? I thought your bird-safe, shade-grown coffee was best.

What do you think? Is there a reason Starbucks is falling?
