    When you can't afford Barry's, McGrath's from Aldi does the job

    Coffee ftw. And proper stuff, none of that instant muck.

    If had to drink tea, Barrys all the way!


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,568 ✭✭✭candy-gal1


    A hot mug of strong sweet tea and a bar of choccie to dip it in always does the job.:)

    *Commits modicide.* :D

    For me, I suppose so long as I can feed me and mine and keep the oul interweb going and things like that. I'm pretty cheap to run so... :)

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    I like both coffee and tea...

    On the dole in Bordeaux...you got to love the EU!!! Loving the yearly long "holiday" and loving that i can afford Pomperol, St Emilion, Medoc wines...thou after a night back from Fondue I can live without the smelly cheese. Thankfully a few bottles of Alsace washed away the cheesy smell. Followed by some Cote D'Or dark chocolate. Loving being on the dole in France ;)

    I could never get the hang of coffee. I tried a couple of times, normally around exams in college until i discovered that eating decent food did a much better job of keeping me awake.

    I could just never get the hang of the taste of it, like beer i suppose. Tea on the other hand, man, i love me a nice big, sweet cup of tea. Especially when you just get in from a walk home from work in the rain.

    Pure winage.

    hot chocolate > coffee > tea.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,566 ✭✭✭Gillo


    Decent ground coffee

    (a hug also helps)


  • Registered Users Posts: 807 ✭✭✭Jenneke87


    Morrocian mint tea, body butter(eczema is a bitch) and apple pie(if you have an addiction make it a healty one:P)

    I'm the sole tea drinker in our house and am a fan of Barrys Gold Blend but someone done the shopping and bought Superquinn own brand cos they were 99c for a box. I never noticed the difference an I take my tea black with no sugar... Maybe I should post in Bargain Alerts

    Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwh yeah.

    A nice hot chocolate is always awesome.

    I'm hopinh this is a bit tongue-in-cheek and that most people are not saying they don't really care how broke they get as long as they can still afford their favourite hot beverage? :confused::P

    Cause I really care about a lot of material things I won't have if I end up broke. I don't want to miss my car, living in the city centre, going on holidays, going out for meals, etc, etc. I worked damn hard and saved so much to get to where I am, from being an impoverished, debt-ridden student and I will not be giving up luxuries without A LOT of complaining and whinging and cries of "it's not fair!"

    And I like instant coffee. ;)


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,585 ✭✭✭lynski


    barrys FTW actually not even FTW, it is the only daily brand worth drinking.
    Re if I am truly broke what luxury could i not live without .... there is nothing i could not live without, but my biggest indulgence and the one i would miss the most is my cleaning lady, 2 hrs everyweek to re introduce order into the house.

    Haha no, the thread just derailed a little into discussions about coffee v's tea etc (Or i guess it didn't derail cos it never started on the right topic in the first place! :p)

    Green tea FTW :D

    On topic, I don't care how broke I get as long as I have my health & my family.....and my car/computer :D;)


  • Registered Users Posts: 34,788 ✭✭✭✭krudler


    Absolutely nothing worse than getting home from work, fancying a nice cup of tea, you boil the kettle, get a cup, a spoon, take the milk out of the fridge, then.... no teabags, arrrggghhhhh!


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,419 ✭✭✭✭jokettle


    If there are cookies to dunk in the tea, then it's a very good day :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,276 ✭✭✭readyletsgo

    Oh I'd really love some cookies now :eek:. If only I had chocolate chips in the house, I'd whip up a batch in an instant!


  • Registered Users Posts: 276 ✭✭random10


    I didn't mean the thread to be about hot beverages specifically. thought it might have expanded a bit, who knew there were so many people who love tea as much as me, ah how it pleases me!! :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,692 ✭✭✭✭Panthro


    Well being the oul scabby student that I am, I buy the massive bag of teabags (few hundred in there) for 6yo yo's in Tesco.
    Don't ask me what the brand is, its a red bag and it lasts a lifetime!*

    (By lifetime I do in fact mean about the length of a semester!)


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 15,663 Mod ✭✭✭✭dfx-


    Having tea or coffee is prolonging the misery OP as far as I'm concerned. Leaves and hot water...that needs milk and sugar to make tastable..pah :P


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,713 ✭✭✭✭Novella


    Don't particularly like tea... or coffee. I'm just obsessed with that chocolate that has those crunchy bits that pop when you put it in your mouth, mmm! Only a euro for a big bar too, hopefully I'll never be too broke that I can't afford it. Although, I'll probably have moved on to something else by next week!
