I tracked my coffee shop trips for a month and it was a shock

I was spending about $75 a month just on lattes, so I switched to making them at home with a $20 milk frother. The home ones taste just as good and I'm saving over $50 a month now. Do you think cutting out small daily buys is the best way to save, or is it better to focus on bigger bills?

Isn't it wild how we'll question a big bill once but let a small daily charge become totally normal?

How do you even track that without crying? I tried once and my bank app sent me a concerned looking pie chart. Honestly cutting the small stuff adds up way faster than you'd think, it's like a money leak you never notice.

Exactly like @henry188 said... those small leaks sink budgets fast.
