Money saving homemade mocha coffee

I’m so glad the school year is finally over! Why? Because I had two sons graduate and I am exhausted! One son graduated from high school and the other from middle school. For the past month, my days have been filled with graduation party planning, graduation crafting and house cleaning for out of town guests. There were lots of late nights to get everything done, which led to many tired mornings where I needed a Kraft McCafé Coffee pick-me-up.

Since every penny counts when you’re planning multiple graduation parties, I saved money by skipping the local coffee shop and the high-cost coffee drinks. However, there were days that I really NEEDED to take a “me” moment and craved a coffee treat to help get me through the day. That’s when I decided to create my own Money Saving Homemade Mocha Coffee using the Breakfast Blend Kraft McCafé Coffee. Sounds good right?! Besides, who doesn’t like to save money and have a good cup of coffee!Kraft McCafe Coffee #McCafeMyWayI had never heard of McCafé Coffee prior to last month, but I’m so glad I found it in the coffee aisle at Walmart. These premium coffees are harvested from the rich soils of the foremost coffee-growing areas of the world, are made with 100% Arabica Beans, come in 8 flavors and are so affordable! Sounds great right?!

I picked up the lighter Breakfast Blend for me and the medium Premium Roast for my husband. My husband loves the slightly stronger flavor of the Premium Roast and he plans on trying the French Roast soon. I love that the Breakfast Blend has a less intense flavor and leaves no bitter aftertaste. It’s a great blend that I can drink anytime of the day and works great for making mixed coffee drinks.Money saving homemade mocha coffee #McCafeMyWay

  11. Erlene thank you so much for bringing this wonderful treat to Fridays Blog Booster Party. I think you have made it better than a coffee shop makes it, and like you say far more economical. I have the feeling that you and your husband will be making many more coffees like this.
    Enjoy,
    Kathleen
