I save money by not buying chain shop coffee every day, and I then spend that money on expensive coffee beans to brew at home. I think I still come out on top though, and I get to drink much nicer coffee now too.
Fortunately for my wallet the fancy coffee shops (in Sheffield) aren't near anywhere I go often, so I only visit them occasionally. They're a luxury for me, but 100% worth it.
I'm surprised yours are cheaper than Starbucks though. They all come in at about the same price around here, but you get more (but not in volume) for your money with the independent shops.
I'm not a huge coffee nut by any means. But when I want coffee? I'll buy a box of cocoa packets (Swiss Miss) for $2, put one packet in my cup, brew a K-cup at work and mix them. SO good.

I started doing this and now I end up going to the fancy coffee shops (of which there are many in Manchester) and buy coffee there.
Still cheaper than Starbucks and better quality by miles.

Yeah volume wise it's less but, I'd rather have 200ml of something great than 20 floz. of sugar...
