Ouch. I hadn't been to get breakfast and coffee from my old regular cafe downstairs for maybe 6 months. I used to get a bacon and egg roll + large coffee for $15 fairly regularly but now it's $21. Definitely an incentive to not do that too often. No discount for bringing my own cup like some cafes do either.

I'm so thankful that my milk bar does a coffee and ham sandwich roll for $11.

I'd say make your own but even my regular bag of coffee beans has gone from $12 to $15 :\ errything's going up...

I've heard good things about the beans from Aldi. I might go for a drive and grab a bag now, give my espresso machine a cleaning and see if I can get back into making my own coffees. I was pretty good at it at one point.

Haha I just remembered this silly video I made back when I figured it all out, featuring yours truly with the sound effects over the music: https://vimeo.com/302551637
