'I'm a full-time mum – here's how ditching £6 lattes saved me £547 a year'

A FULL-TIME mum has revealed how walking away from 'pretentious hipster cafés' in favour of brewing at home has slashed her caffeine costs and stress. Angela Moore, aged 55 and from Warrington, runs her own accessories business from home while raising two kids. She guzzled six takeaway lattes a week to keep her creative spark alive, dropping on average £859 a year on her caffeine fix. But with the help of a newly-launched online coffee-cost calculator, she says she has pocketed more than £500 by making the leap to a bean-to-cup coffee machine at home. On her coffee habits, Angela said: 'I run the studio around my two grown-up kids' ever-changing diaries, so coffee is mission critical. 'Six cups a week kept me buzzing, but the bills were brutal. 'Why pay six quid to perch on a wobbly stool while someone hogs a sofa for hours? 'Now, I hit one button at home, sip a perfect flat white, and get back to work – no queue or eye-watering price tag.' Angela's penny-pinching victory lands as new research reveals the nation's biggest café pet peeves, and the hefty price we pay for them. Top irritations include table-hoggers, laptop squatters, never-ending queues, uncomfortable seats, and the barista who cannot crack a smile. Coffee experts at Philips found that Brits buy an average of four takeaway coffees a week at £4.13 each. Philips' free Calculatté tool crunches any takeaway price and pinpoints the moment a bean-to-cup machine pays for itself. Lizzie Lee, Philips' in-house coffee expert at Philips, said: 'Queues, sky-high prices, and those table-thieving tyrants have turned the morning latte into an expensive chore. 'Calculatté proves you can enjoy barista-quality coffee at home for a fraction of the cost.'

‘He Wears That Little, Dangly Cross Earring:' Woman Says ‘Car Guys' Are Major ‘Red Flags' for Dating. Is She onto Something?

A woman contends that car enthusiasts are more likely to cheat, specifically car guys. Mia Saint (@miasaintj) posted a TikTok listing red flags she believes are clear indicators that someone will be unfaithful. Get the best news, reviews, columns, and more delivered straight to your inbox, daily. back Sign up For more information, read our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use . 'Top five ways to see if a man is a slut. Number one, he's a car guy,' she says. 'Friend you should know already but like just saying.' Saint doesn't go into further detail about her proposed correlation between auto enthusiasm and infidelity. While loving cars themselves hasn't been directly linked to cheating, there have been studies connecting automobiles generally, and specific brands, with unfaithfulness. Trending Now 'I Bet You Didn't Know This:' Woman Discovers This Little-Known Perk to Driving A Subaru. Then Her Order Comes in the Mail 'Don't Get Fooled, Ladies:' Man Says GMC Quoted Wife $900 to Put $6 Amazon Part Back on Car. He Does It in 1 Second Cars and Cheaters In 2023, the Sun published a piece dedicated to the subject of romantic betrayals and vehicle ownership. According to the outlet, a person is more likely to cheat if they own a car. This arguably makes sense, if only for logistic purposes. Being able to commute further and at a moment's notice is much easier, not to mention more discreet, than taking public transportation. A poll referenced in the same piece indicates Fiat owners specifically are some of the biggest cheaters. Fiat isn't the only brand that's been linked to infidelity, however. A 2013 poll a British dating site for married people gave its 750,000 members found that Audi owners were the most likely to cheat. The results of Illicit Encounters' survey, which were covered by DriveSpark and Carscoops , said that BMW owners were second most likely, and Mercedes-Benz owners were third. Peugeot owners, on the other hand, were found to be the most loyal. ShunAuto also wrote an article that car salesmen are perceived as highly likely to cheat on their wives. The piece doesn't provide any hard data to link the vocation to infidelity, however. Instead it claims that the 'dishonest' nature of the job makes it logical that people in sales lie to their partners. Other Red Flags In the post, Saint shares other factors she thinks are red flags for cheating. Her next trait to look out for: Religious-themed ear accessories. 'Number two, he wears that little dangly cross earring. I don't make the rules, but he's either trying to tell you one of two things with the cross. Number one he's a ho, number two, he's....' She then makes a hand gesture that is likely meant to indicate the man is gay. Saint says that the third sign a man is likely to cheat is if he's been raised by women. 'He's gonna try to convince you that he's just very in touch with his feminine side,' she says. 'When really he's very in touch with manipulating women his entire life.' She then turns to men with certain tattoos. She says men who have 'fear God' or 'trust no one' tattoos are more likely to step out on their significant others. The final factor, she says, pertains to cell phones. 'If his phone is on DND [do not disturb] 24/7. Honestly if a man puts his phone on DND period. What are you not wanting to be disturbed for? Because he don't want them hoes disturbing you.' 'I'm Cooked' Several who replied to Saint's video didn't seem to appreciate her list of red flags. One man replied that, according to Saint's rules, they're a walking red flag. 'CAR GUY?!?! I'm cooked,' he said. Someone else wrote that being raised by a single mother was out of his control. 'God forbid I grew up with no dad,' he said. A third celebrated, 'I'm none of them yessssss!' A person who apparently has two of Saint's red flags—car guy and phone on DND—jokingly pushed back on her claims. 'Us car guys [are] busy buying car parts and putting them on,' they wrote. 'That's why phone is on DND.' Motor1 has reached out to Saint via Instagram direct message for further comment. We'll be sure to update this if she responds.
