I buy gift cards on ebay. ebay now makes it so a selling can only list a certain number at a time due to fraud in the past. This has made things much better. It’s worthwhile looking at the persons rating, but I have not had any trouble to date (knock on wood) buying gift cards with about 50 ebay transactions.

Does anyone have experience with buying gift cards on eBay? I am thinking of buying some Home Depot cards for a discount in order to buy new appliances. However, I’m a little worried about doing this.

make your own!

after paying $300 for an espresso machine and buying premium italian coffee beans, my capas and lattes tastes so much better than the mud served at starbucks. i also spared myself the mindnumbing 20 minutes it takes to get the crap (10 minute roundtrip travel + 5 minute wait to order because the idiot in front of you doesnt know the difference of americano or latte + 5 minutes it takes to make your order) and $4 each day. total starbuck savings 1.2 hours and $20 per week or 62.4 hours and $1000 per year.

i spend about $15 for beans which last 3 weeks. spending about $260 per year on coffee. total outlay for first year $560 (espresso machine and coffee) the espresso machine paid for itself, i have better tasting coffee drinks, and i am not part of the starbuck drone machine.

spending about $20 on my coffee is worth it.

I have a french press I keep at the office and as long as the beans are ground for a french press, I can buy them anywhere I want. The french press really does give the coffee a nice consitency, better than office coffee. And, its MUCH cheaper than Fourbucks. Hope somebody tries this and likes it.

Fill up on free coffee at the office! If I didn’t do this, my caffeine fix would be costing me at least an additional $60 a month. I treat myself to one Starbucks latte a week (today was my lucky day) and the rest of the week is office coffee. It’s nothing special but it’s passable and it gets the job done!

Invest $15 in a coffee pot at Wal-Mart. Drop $5 on a can of maxwell House.

Note: I am a coffee lover, have roasted my own.
