How to Lower Your Monthly Tech Bills

by Dan Reilly on August 18, 2009 at 12:01 AM


Brew Your Own Coffee

We know most people can't survive without coffee in the morning because we're in the same boat. But we also know that spending a few bucks at Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts every morning is a waste of cash. That's why it's much more cost efficient to pony up a mere $36 for a snazzy-looking coffeemaker like the Braun KF590 and buy your own beans or grounds. This baby brews up to 54 ounces through a Brita filter and has a programmable timer so you can have fresh coffee when you wake up. Or, you can leave it unplugged when not in use to cut energy costs -- it's up to you. Unless you're incredibly lazy, there's no reason to keep throwing your money away at the coffee chains. (For more coffee makers, check out this lineup.)
