Saving $10,000 would be easier if one were to win it in the lottery. Let’s look at that.
I can't think of anyone who doesn't know someone or know of someone who has won an amount as impressive as $10,000 in a lottery game if not more. The lottery players and those who try to emulate them also spend a large amount playing the lottery & most never win that much money if any. The games would close up if that were not the case. So it is best to resign one's self to never winning the lottery. If a person spends $1 a day on a ticket that is an expense of $30 a month or $365 a year. It is also an amount of money a person could save. What to do with that money? Buy coffee and make it at home instead of buying it out is one idea.
Value Time coffee in Columbus, OH is $5 for 34 oz can. If you go through two cans a month that's $10 to make coffee yourself.
To buy coffee out at a coffee house will cost about $1.65 a cup. Two cups a day is $3.30 multiplied by 30 is $99 a month. Add the additional $20 and you have just won $119 a month not playing the lottery. If someone promised you a lottery ticket worth $119 every month you would take it right? There it is.
An annual savings of $1,428 a year.

1) ValueTime Coffee
Good coffee, that is to say not bad, because we have all had bad coffee. It has a very mild flavor and people wanting a stronger smell and flavor should use a little more. At less than $5 for a 34oz can, it is well worth the $3-$5 savings over other coffees.
2) Muffins from a pouch or box.
Martha White, Betty Crocker you name it, all of these are a great way to start your day. Why am I endorsing these en mass? Because all of them are a better idea than buying a bakery muffin.
The bakery muffins are larger, but the benefits end there. The muffins you bake yourself from a pouch or box take as much time to prepare 6 as it does to buy one bakery muffin. I baked some muffins from a pouch this evening and it took 16 minutes including baking time. Once you add up standing in line and driving to the bakery it’s easy to see how 10 to 15 minutes could be eaten up. And where do you eat your muffin? Do you sit at your desk and eat it? Wouldn’t it be easier to eat at home?
Yes the bakery muffins are bigger, so eat two out of the pouch.
My pouch muffins cost around $1.50 and the pouch yields 6 muffins, that’s a quarter a muffin. Compare that to $2.00 or more for one bakery muffin.
