Best Breakfasts For Someone on a Budget

Coffee is my life line — if my day doesn't start with a hot cup (or three), bad things happen. I like picking up locally made batches in San Francisco from places like Sightglass, Philz, or Four Barrel, but I also love the cheaper store brands from Trader Joe's and Whole Foods (don't forget: both stores have in-store grinders for whole bean coffee). Buying the coffee is step one to ensuring I brew it myself at home, but the other essential for me is setting up the coffee maker the night before so all I have to do is press the "on" button when I'm still half asleep in the morning.
