Starbucks was a $25 a week habit and before I cut down to eating out once a week. Lunch was probably getting close to $100 per week.
For me cutting these back to $50 a week total max (Still way too much but its a start) has saved me a significant amount of money.
The lunch thing takes planning and discipline though. It helps if you can convince your regular lunch group to all cut back. Its the social aspect of going for coffee and lunch that always gets me.
