My wife Missy and I are really excited about Dave Ramsey, financial guru, author and radio host, coming to Orlando this week, and that we’re going to see him on Friday and Saturday. Saturday will be his Total Money Makeover event, where he’ll be offering financial teachings on how to win with money… living like noone else, so later, we can live like noone else.

I can’t wait for Friday, though, which will be EntreLeadership, where he’ll offer entrepreneurs (like yours truly) advice on how to run a small business debt-free with a strong emphasis on Christian principles. To say that we’re excited would be an understatement. Based on following Dave’s teachings over the past year, we are now debt-free except for the house!

What does this have to do with coffee, you ask? Well, one of many things I learned from listening to Dave on the radio is that getting a good deal shouldn’t be something that happens every once in a while. Getting a good deal on something and saving money should be the norm. I heard someone today mention that they paid almost $3 for a latte. Ridiculous!

You can pick up a pound of fresh roasted coffee beans for around $13 dollars. With a pound of coffee, you can brew coffee at home and save money by making, on average, 53 6 oz cups of coffee (or lattes). That’s $0.25 cents per cup! Compared to paying $3 – 1200% more at the ubiquitous coffee chain – you can save a substantial amount of money by brewing at home.
