Trucker here. Every morning I mix two tablespoons of Great Value 100% Columbian instant coffee into my 20 oz Stanley tumbler. A splash of Hazelnut creamer and add water and ice. Shake it up. It’s like $0.49 a day, lasts me all morning and keeps me sane when I roll through your town as you people try to kill yourselves around my 40 ton 18 wheeler. 🤣🤣🤣
The coffee and the large creamer last around three weeks.

I mean, if it works for you my dude, rock on!!
Keep ballin on a budget!
Sounds good!
If you wanna splurge, you can get the “Natural Bliss” creamer and Nescafe.
Try Bustelo instant!
My unhinged thing is brewing a pot of coffee the night before and then tossing ice into it the next morning
If you are using a flavor and sweetener (and ice too), then there is probably not much difference from whether the coffee is instant or freshly ground whole beans. That is what my wife drinks (instant) as for her it is just a sweet treat plus caffeine delivery. Good frugal win.
Col*o*mbian , there’s no country named Col*u*mbia but otherwise 100% support the frugality. Coffee is cheap, ice is cheap, why pay more?
Just curious, do you feel any particular regions of the US are worse drivers than others?
Read the sub rules.
How much is a slash of creamer?
Crazy that that’s still 0.49 a serving
There’s a somewhat famous finance youtuber who had pretty much the same recipe for his “20 cent iced coffee” compared to coffee chains’ iced coffee
– make a pot of coffee (i think he grinds his own beans)
– put the whole pot in the fridge overnight
– add mocha creamer (or whatever) to taste the next day. 20 cent (or is it 10 cent) ice coffee. save $5 (this was at the time, save more $ now).
I think the main part is the overnight icing of the coffee in the fridge. if you just add ice cubes to making it straight away its not the same.
Colombian.
