I actually feel really guilty about buying all those single serving drinks from Dunkin' and the convenience stores because of all of the plastic I am just putting back into the environment. I really need to stop doing this. ๐Ÿ˜พ

I really enjoy iced/ cold brew coffee but always felt dumb paying $5 or more for it, especially because of the waste. I bought a cold brew pitcher and some travel mugs, and now I can have my coffee for pennies a day with no waste. Only downside is you have to remember to make it at least 12 hours before you want it.

Edit to add: Total price for the pitcher and mugs was equal to about 8 cups of coffee from a coffee shop.

I like the cold brew as well. The trouble is Dunks also wants to charge Starbucks prices for less than Starbucks quality.
