every day on my way to work or on weekend when out and about I get a coffee

You work hard and you enjoy your coffee. No one else’s business !

I couldn’t do it. But I’m sure I spend money on other things that are worth it to me but not to others.

I know people who have Pret subscriptions, and they get a daily coffee for half price.

But yeah, you do you. If you enjoy your daily coffee that you did not have to go through the faff of preparing yourself, then go for it.

My DP spends an insane amount on tea in cafes, to get him out his flat (he WFH but hates the H bit).

I go to a coffee shop a few times a week and have a cappucino. It is me time. It is the only time I can sit and not get interrupted. I have tweens and am always driving them places/doing housework in the evenings.

I know people say to have nice coffee at home. It you work full time hours and are out of the house at stupid o'clock, it is a long day without coffee or cappucino.

I earn 75k euros a year, my husband earns similar. I don't drink in pubs. I go for dinner a few times a year. Ww go on one holiday a year. I don't go to concerts. I don't get nails done and I am not into fashion. The time to sit and relax is priceless and keeps me going.

I wouldn't as I make time to drink a cup of tea every day before I leave home. Not over keen on coffee anyway but I wouldn't want to waste the money. Happy to meet someone socially for a coffee though.

If you can afford it and you want to why not?

Why is it even a question?

MandemChickenShop · 09/05/2026 16:42

Try a tea one day

Your money to choose what you do with it .
My dh and I regularly go to cafes during the week . We don't visit pubs , don't drink , and don't smoke / vape , don't have takeaways .
These past 4 weeks we have logged all the cost of our trips out and it came to just under £200 which seems a lot but factor in all the above and that works out as roughly £50 a week for 2 so I don't think that's too bad .

Sounds nice to me (non drinker). You've got to have some treats!

Only if you never ever complain about being broke 😆

Assuming you pay your bills and aren't buying the coffee on a credit card and it's satisfying you then YNBU.

ButterYellowFlowers · 09/05/2026 16:35

Do what you want. It’s your money. That’s about £1,460 a year if it’s every day. If you’re happy spending that for what it gives you then great.

Funkylights · 09/05/2026 16:35

Up to you if you want to spend £100 a month on a coffee. You must be rich enough

I would need more information to say. If you can afford it, and enjoy it than why not? Sometimes little treats like this really make a difference.

We invested in a bean to cup coffee machine during Covid with automatic milk, and it has more than paid for itself. I just take a take away style reusable cup out, and I can make it exactly how I like it, at the temperature I like with the press of a button. I wouldn't go back tbh.

dottiedodah · 09/05/2026 16:32

I think its your choice really.Many do the same ,probably expensive though .Maybe only one a day not too bad or you can buy a flask .We all need a little treat to keep us going!

Crushed23 · 09/05/2026 16:32

Of course YANBU, it’s your money.

I did this for about 15 years, then last year DP gifted me an amazing bean-to-cup coffee machine and now I make a coffee at home 5-6 days out of 7. Saves me around $150/month (and the coffee tastes better). Haven’t looked back!

How is it being unreasonable? It’s your life, your money, your health. Nobody on here can tell you as well as you can tell yourself.
