Canceled My Premium Cable Channels. - Yeah, most of you would say “cancel the whole shebang, you indebted person you”. But sadly, I’m TV addicted. Giving up my HBO and Starz package isn’t too much of a sacrifice. Like I need to see Lindsey Lohen over emote one more time in I Know Who Killed Me. But say goodbye to the new season of Project Runway? No way Jose!

Canceled “the Organic Box” by Spud.
I try to provide my family with organics whenever I can. It healthier, greener and the produce that was being delivered to my door via Spud.com has been absolutely top notch and delicious. Plus each week I was able to adjust what I wanted so I wasn’t stuck with getting three bunches of kale that I had no idea how to use. For now, I’ll have to suffer with some B-List veggies and battle the crowds at the Farmer’s Market.
If you’re interested in using the box, click here and you’ll get a $25 reward after 4 deliveries! Go to www.spud.com and sign-up using my super special promo code CR5-993460. (they deliver to Seattle, Portland, SF and LA) and hey, I get a kick back too, so go for it my friend!
SAVED: $29 per week.
Downgraded My Coffee Beans
Yeah, I know, I know, I can get some cheap ass French Roast beans in bulk from Costco but my body and fine tuned pallet are sadly addicted to Peet’s Coffee. For the last year or so, our poison has been the Sulawesi-Kalosi ($13.95 per pound), an amazingly smooth Indonesian bean. But today I bought a pound of equally tasty Sumatra ($11.95 per pound) at a savings of two dollars (plus I got a free cup of coffee with a purchase of a pound of beans).

I'd always wondered how much of those organic boxes people actually used. Thanks for saving me money before I even spent it! Have you ever tried the coffee at Trader Joe's. It's not Peets...but it is super cheap.
We roast our own coffee. The beans come from Sweet Maria's in Oakland (http://www.sweetmarias.com/) and you can buy roasters there as well. Roasting is a lot of fun (although it can be smoky) and the bean quality is way cheaper and tastier than Peet's (our former preference).
I'll have to try BOTH Trader Joe's and roasting it ourselves. I love the smell of coffee roasting, so that sounds really tempting!
