First, a reminder for those of you missed it: Lazarus announced the recession before Bush and Buffet.

So, when I announced the recession I said I would not be buying Starbucks beans until its over.  Ok, not only am I not purchasing Starbucks beans, recently I decided to give up their formula for a perfect cup of coffee. Starbucks recommends that you brew your coffee using 2 tablespoons per 6 ounces of water.

I am convinced that the success of Starbucks has been, in great measure, simply due to the fact that they brew their coffee very strong.  Starbuck’s brew is not my daddy’s brew —  the weak, often reheated, and even sometimes made with reused grinds, brew made from the 3 lb. can of whatever brand was cheapest.  NO! Starbuck’s coffee is a REAL MAN’S coffee — STRONG —– it’ll put hair on your chest - COFFEE, and I love it that way.

Nevertheless, I have decided, that I can still enjoy a decent cup of coffee with half the amount of grind.  So, as the recession deepens I am cutting back to 1 tablespoon per 6 ounces of water which still falls within guidelines for good cup of coffee according to the National Coffee Association.  But folks, it hasn’t stopped there.  I’ve also decided that I can use our 2% milk as a creamer instead of buying Half and Half. Since I go through approx 1 quart of half and half per week and approx 2 lbs of beans per month I estimate a monthly savings of $12.00 to $15.00 per month.
