Hello everyone! So I am— well, as you know, I'm always trying to find like ways where I can save some money on some of my favorite things such as clothes or coffee or drinks or whatever it could be. So I was in the grocery store the other day and I got a Keurig for Christmas, I think the year before last, my grandparents gave it to me. And I was so excited about my Keurig because essentially it's gonna help me stop going to Starbucks Starbucks all the time. It has. I've spent so much less money drinking at coffee shops. I make my coffee, put it in a little— what do they call it— tumblers or whatever, and I'm saving so much money. So I was in the store the other day just buying my little Keurig coffee cups, whatever, and I saw this, and I was like, oh my gosh, caramel macchiato. This is like my absolute favorite drink when I go to coffee shops. So I was gonna buy it, then I saw it was like $7.99. I was like, that's a lot, right? So this was— it was really weird. I don't know, it's like a godsend situation. But I, um, I looked further. I was like, man, that would be awesome. Maybe I should get it. Maybe I shouldn't be cheap. Maybe I should just try it because it is 6, uh, coffees in here or whatever. So, um, I'm looking up— literally, I forgot to get the paper. So I'm looking up and essentially there's like a coupon hanging outside of the box, like it's not supposed to be there. And it was like, ah, so it was really interesting. So anyway, basically someone had— I guess they were gonna buy it, they didn't buy it, and so they took the coupon and stuck it in, I guess, for the next person who wanted to come and buy the coffee. And I was like, oh my god, this is so awesome. I'm looking around like, this is a joke or whatever. There's a $1.50 coupon hanging out of the, um, the box. So basically I ended up spending about $6.50 on this box of caramel macchiato coffee, and there's about 6 of them in here. And, um, you know, essentially I'm like, man, this is, this is a good deal. If these are yummy, this could totally like really, really help me even when I do have like a craving for like those, you know, type of, uh, espresso drinks that my Keurig doesn't make. So, um, I haven't even opened the box yet, but let's do it. So there's 6 of them in here. I'm like, on average I would spend $5 each time I go buy creme macchiato at, you know, Starbucks or any other coffee shop. And, um, this is made by Gavaglia. As you can see, can you see? Cavalia. There's 6 of them in there. It comes with the milk and then it comes with the little Keurig pod. Kind of weird about the dry milk, but I guess that's how baby formula is made. I don't know. So anyway, I'm gonna go make one of these, let you know how it is. This is the actual Keurig cup, and then this is the froth packet, which is made from real milk, and this is the Espresso. So anyway, got my Dominique Broadway cup. I'm gonna go make this, see how it turns out. I'll be right back. Okay, so I'm back. I made the gavalia caramel macchiato, and it smells awesome. So let's see if it actually tastes good. It's good. It's hot though, but it's good. It has like the little froth. You can't see, but it has like the froth in there. It's actually good. It's like a real caramel macchiato. So let's say we typically spend $5 each time we go and get our espresso drink. Let's say if we go 5 times a week, that's $25. And basically we're saving a lot of money because this was only really about $6. So you buy this, you get your 6 drinks, Essentially, instead of spending $30— or excuse me, $25 a week, you can actually spend honestly like $6 a week, and that's $24 a month versus $100 a month. You see the savings? Okay, so that's awesome. So basically I'll take my caramel macchiato, put it in my Starbucks reusable mug, and I'll feel like I just went to Starbucks. So anyway, that's a way to save some money. Check out the Gevalia. Let me know what you think. I like it. I didn't see any other flavors. Um, well, actually, I think they do have a mocha flavor that I think I'll try next because regular coffee is fine, but every now and then you do want like that espresso drink, and that's usually when you'll go and splurge and go to a coffee house. So this may have just filled the void for me. So anyway, just wanted to share that tip with you. See you soon.
