You know all those "Here's how to save $1000 by Christmas" blog posts that (unhelpfully, IMO*) suggested cutting expenses like eating out 5 days a week for lunch or shopping for discount airfares rather than paying full price?
The one thing that was common to them all was "Stop buying gourmet coffee drinks every day." Apparently, people actually TOOK that advice: Starbucks' profit this quarter was down 97%.

* I say "unhelpfully" because the lists are ridiculous. Is there anyone who's looking to save money that doesn't think twice when she shells out $4.50 for a coffee or $10 on a lunch every day?
