Thanks for reading our blog and for your comments. We have recently discussed changing our coffee habit, too. For years, we didn’t drink coffee, so when we started buying coffee, we purchased instant, which we’ve been doing for about a year now.

We just discussed changing over to using grounds and buying a coffee maker, because it seems we could save a lot that way. I still don’t drink a lot of coffee, but I do mostly drink decaf, and instant decaf is quite pricey.

Just to clarify, we’re not actually Catholic and don’t observe Lent religiously; I just got the idea for a “financial lent/fast” from reading blog posts by others who’ve talked about how Lent has saved them money.

And the thing about the “financial fast” is that you could do it any time you want as a way of discovering and testing your ability to go without certain things to help save money.

Thanks again for reading and have a good Lent,
P
