The new year is here, which means that you're most likely thinking about how to work on any New Years' resolutions that you have. If you're like me and spend tons of money on coffee, then you're probably thinking of ways to work on your coffee addiction.

Going to coffee shops like Starbucks every day can get extremely expensive. In addition, purchasing coffee at the store can also be pricey. There are a lot of people that will often tell me to just give it up.

But, if you're like me and are either constantly going to morning classes, working, or are planning on becoming a teacher, giving up coffee really isn't an option.

The good news is you don't have to give up coffee cold turkey in order to save money. Here are 20 ways to spend less money on coffee in 2020.

1. Try Cheaper Brand Coffee Like "Folgers"

There's nothing wrong with drinking coffee brands like "Maxwell" or "Folgers," since both brands can taste just as good as any other coffee brand.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
