Trying to shave the budget a bit...

I would put it in Mason jars so you could just open the jar, add ice and creamer and shake it up each morning.

I buy the pre made Dunkin’ Donuts iced coffee bags and stick them in a 2 liter container. The box is $10 and contains enough to make 4 liters of iced coffee. I also make my own creamer (2 parts (half and half with one part sweetened condensed milk). Those 2 containers cost me around $7. So for 2 weeks of really good iced coffee, I’m spending around $12.
I do feel like it gave me a nice little cost saving, especially because I was getting my iced coffee at Starbucks every morning.

I make 2 cups before I head to bed. Let it cool down a bit then cover and place in fridge.

Then I have 2 cups ready for the next day. I have one I the morning and one in the afternoon.

Morning is just iced with a little Lactaid milk. Afternoon I add 1 sugar packet along with the milk.

Thanks for sharing! I just added this to my Christmas list.

To the OP, I love iced coffee. I really like the Cold Brew you can buy from the grocery store. I make ice cubes out of it so it doesn't water down my coffee.

I work 0.7 FTE, 4 days weekly alternating with 3 days. I worked full time for 10 years and then 4 days weekly for about 2 and at current schedule for the past 2. I have an extraordinarily stressful job with a very high rate of burn out so the decision was made to try and improve work/life balance. I calculated everything ahead of time so I was very aware of the change in budget. Going from 1.0 to 0.8 really didn’t impact me much but for some reason, stepping down to the 0.7 feels different. Personally, the money for coffee may not seem like a lot but the reality is that $90 monthly adds up over time. For me, that would be most of a cell phone bill or a trip to the grocery store. I understand it feels like something that’s self care but isn’t more time off work a form of self care also? Cutting streaming subscriptions can make a big difference too. I tend to alternate my subscriptions so I can catch up on Netflix one month and the next Hulu (or whatever). I use the library instead of buying books. I eat out very rarely and cook more. Other things, I don’t get pedicures/manicures, eyebrows/lashes (I never did but I know a lots of people do). I buy generic forms of certain things, like the Kirkland brand K cups rather than Starbucks, etc. I also have a credit card that gives me credit on Amazon. I use my credit card for everything I can (I pay it off monthly) and use the points to make purchases on Amazon. All of these things do seem to help over time. Best wishes! Having more time away from work is worth it.

My college aged daughters like their Starbucks but on a college budget, it’s a sometimes treat. They both make a pitcher of cold brew at the beginning of the week using the pre-packaged bags from the grocery store. They like the store brand just fine. Pour finished brew over ice with some oat milk and a splash of Torani syrup and they’re good to go.

I make. One ahead and have it in the refrigerator. I have ice cube trays just for coffee ice cubes so it doesn’t melt and water down the coffee.

I stir really well when I'm pouring it into the container. My container is one of those protein shake mixer things. It has one of those whisk-like metal balls. Every time I use it, I shake the container just a little bit. It will last a full two weeks. I have gone 17 days, but that was pushing it.

My daughter has a Dunkin iced coffee habit too. When she was staying with us at our cabin this summer we had a jar where we'd pour our leftover coffee and put it in the fridge. She'd added ice and flavored creamer. My number one way to save money is to stay home. I quit buying clothes too.
