Many iced coffees from fast food places are delicious and great for a treat once a while, but sometimes it can be addicting to the consume and can lead you to consume a surplus of the popular high in calorie, caffeinated and addicting, sugary drinks. And, not to mention, it is pricey.
If you were to buy an iced coffee for $3 a day, that would make it $21 per week and approximately $90 a month and $1080 a year alone! And that is only if you were to buy one per day.
