I am obsessed with Sheetz lattes. Despite being cheaper than specialty coffee shop beverages, they still put a little dent in my weekly budget at about $3 a pop. Being the thrifty girl that I am, I decided to seek a way to make them at home.

The little print out at Sheetz says four pumps of espresso, three flavor pumps and skim milk. So, I bought the vanilla flavor syrup at Wegmans (they also sell it at Wal-Mart) for $6.99. I have skim milk, but pumps of espresso? Do they sell that? Oh man, do I have to buy an espresso machine?

I look at Wal-mart for an inexpensive espresso machine to complete my stash of goods, but they didn't really have a cheap one. So, I headed to the food section in search of espresso in liquid form.

What I found was Nescafe Mocha Ice Java. It's like a chocolate syrup only it's coffee flavored. It was only $2.99 and it makes 20 servings. Wow, that would save me a lot of money.

I have to report that it's awesome. I poured milk over ice and stirred in the Mocha Java. Voila, I had an awesome at-home iced coffee for a fraction of the cost! I can't wait to make more.
