i'm sure the purpose of this blog wasn't to put coffee and gas in the same category, but to point out that people can give up smaller unnecessary things for bigger necessities, such as gas, especially if the price of gas is continually rising.

yes, people will always spend money on little things that will add up, but that's just it. this blog is trying to show that you can save a lot and put your money to better use. the economy is only getting worse and worse. might as well be less moronic and hold on to whatever money you can save for now.
