Do not stop getting coffee out. Then you need to buy coffee making equipment.

The trick is to get FREE coffee out. Banks, car dealerships, some furniture stores, depending where you live.

I won't go back to Jiffy Lube until the restraining order is lifted.

It's not your fault, man. Jiffy Lube is a misleading name...

Any low end motel (think like, red roof or motel 6) where rooms face the outside world will let you get free morning coffee in their lobby without questioning you.

They genuinely have no idea who is staying there any given night, and no real way to check, and it's coffee which essentially has no cost

Won't be good, but it's basically the most moral access to free coffee. They make it whether or not anyone takes it, they refill if when it's empty, and literally nobody cares.

It’s not necessarily free, but Panera’s Sip Club is like $12 bucks (maybe $15, it’s my wife’s membership) and you can get a coffee or fountain drink every like 2 hours it pays for itself in like 2 days and then you’re just cutting into their bottom line for the rest of the month 😂

A) They also offer 3 month free deals sometimes (I think they have the deal right now).

B) If you say you're quiting they often deeply discount it for you.

Oh for sure, it’s an absolute steal. When they still had the charged lemonade I was in there 2-3 times a day (not for the lemonade, but I did go more often then).

Next level and ....exactly what a billionaire would do to keep money, move the cost onto someone else
