Safe to say if you see me, especially in the morning there’s a 100% chance of a hot cup of coffee nearby. I’ve gotten to that stage in life that it’s always the very first thing on my must have list every morning. And if you haven’t checked the calendar lately, we’re quickly approaching National Coffee Day which is next Friday (Sept 29th) by the way. Did you know us American’s consume around 491 million cups of Joe every day? Yep, and that’s clearly a lot of coffee – think how much that adds up to in a year! And since National Coffee Day is next Friday, WalletHub conducted a survey of its top coffee deals and discounts offered during the holiday. According to the story, they compared the 100 largest cities across 12 key indicators of a strong coffee culture. The data ranges from coffee shops, coffee houses and cafes per capita to the average price per pack of coffee:
