Rant: I used to blow $40 a month on coffee shops, now I brew in a pickle jar

Back in 2019 I lived near downtown Portland and grabbed a latte every single morning, that added up to like $40 a month easy. Then my machine broke and I got lazy, so I started making cold brew in a giant pickle jar I fished out of the recycling bin. Just coffee grounds, water, and a 24 hour sit in the fridge, no fancy gear. I strain it through an old t-shirt and drink it black, tastes fine to me. Last month I tracked my coffee spending at exactly $6 for a bag of beans. Has anyone else gone full DIY on their caffeine habit and noticed the savings pile up faster than you expected?
