Creamy Canadian Coffee Talk
In Sarah's case Hot chcolate talk.
double double, triple triple, double single, single single, double cream no surgar, single cream single milk one sugar.
How about this one, single and a half cream half milk half sugar? and you complained they didn't get it right?
I have heard, but have never seen, that the term Double Double, has been placed in Canadian dictionary, meaning two cream, two sugar
This Coffee Talk happens all accross the country every morning, then at lunch and someties on the commute home. That's alot of coffee.
That's alot of money on coffee. a large coffee $1.54 once a day based on a 30 day month for one person = $46.20. lets say $50 because you tip.
If you have a partner times that by 2. i'll do the math $100.
And what if you both sneak a coffee in the after noon . $100 x2 = TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS on coffee a month!
That is not counting the Saturday/ Sunday mornings when you have two children with you and you add a box of doughnut holes and hot chocolate to the order.
Insane. It's like I work outside of the home so I can drink coffee?
In my purse I now carry teabags and a small jar of instant coffee and pay 0.15 for a splash of cream. 0.15 *30 days *2xaday =$9 month + box of tea and small jar of coffee, say about $10.00 Total $19.00 for the month.
So have I cut down on coffee consumption, you bet! Do i still go thru a drive thru? you bet! just not everyday twice a day.

I love the expression on Sarah's face!
If I go to starbucks and order a Cafe Mocha (the small size, I forget what they call) I'll pay almost 3.50! As you can imagine I don't go there to often.
I occasionally go to Starbucks if going to the book store, not as convenient as the drive thru, which seem to be around every corner. I have six opportunities to hit a drive thru on a 15 minute drive to work. + a cafeteria with coffee when I get to work. Pulling out the instant can be difficult!
