Make your own Gingerbread Latte

Here in Canada, we’ve already celebrated Thanksgiving with all the trimmings: Turkey, stuffing, cranberries, pumpkin pie and now that Hallowe’en is over the stores are starting to put up their Christmas decorations and I bet the carols will be playing over the loudspeaker before the week is out.  Soon the Pumpkin Spice Latte will be replaced by the gingerbread latte and other festive drinks like peppermint hot chocolate. I’m not even joking. Once Remembrance Day (Nov 11th) passes it is officially holiday season and the mad rush at the malls and all those holiday parties and events will start.

Have you heard of No-Spend November? I’ve seen this mentioned on a few different websites recently and the focus seems to be on minimizing spending AND only buying essentials. Check out this article if you want to learn more.  While I haven’t fully embraced it I am totally onside with saving $5 every morning and substituting my Starbucks Latte with this homemade festive gingerbread latte that is made so easily leveraging the simple gingerbread syrup I shared with you last week.  What would you do with an extra $100-150 a month? So many options: new shoes, save for a holiday, be uber responsible add to my retirement account, etc…
