How to Save Money on Tea

If you are trying to stretch every dollar, and these days, who isn't, your grocery budget is a good place to start. Here are some ways to help you save money on comforting, soothing, delicious tea.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Don't make a dainty cup of tea. If you plan on sipping a second cup, use a single tea bag to prepare a larger mug instead. This way you'll buy half as much tea.

2. Grow your own tea. Many herbal plants, such as mint, lemon balm or chamomile can be grown at home and dried for fresh, nearly free tea. Simply purchase a reusable tea ball rather than using tea bags.

3. Use a coffee maker and brew a pot of tea using one or two teabags. Brewing tea this way will stretch your tea further. This is a great way to make iced tea as well.

4. Buy tea in bulk. Stores such as natural foods stores and co-ops stock a wide variety of bulk loose tea. Simply use a reusable tea ball.

5. Buy tea online from wholesalers at a fraction of the cost.

Tips & Warnings

• Mix fresh brewed ice tea with various fruit juices for a different, delicious drink.
