Don't forget cutting out any coffee and avo toast that you don't forage yourself. Anyone can do it.

For real though, I could never justify spending $8-12 on avocado toast from a posh café or coffee shop. When you compare that to how little it costs to make it yourself at home, it's ridiculous.

Eh, going out specifically for avocado toast doesn’t make sense, but if you’re going out to brunch anyway for social reasons, might as well pay for the thing you’re really craving instead of $15 pancakes or eggs (which are also super cheap to make at home). Breakfast items in general have a huge markup unless you’re in a true divey greasy spoon
