Defeating "The Latte Troll" and Other Monsters

We all have our vices.  For some, it's really good chocolate, for others it's fun cocktails.  Personally, I am irrevocably addicted to coffee, specifically the drinks that make me look like a complete high-maintanace tool when the barista announces my "grande dirty chai with vanilla soy and an extra shot" or my "double tall half-sweet bananna mocha with cinnamon" after I've shelled out $7 for my temporary caffeine jolt paired with a sweet sweet endorphine rush. 

Obviously, this really hurts my pocket-book, but damn it I am a coffee connoisseur and the leader of an impromptu coffee group, so I will have my drink and like it too!  So how am I to afford this and defeat my latte troll that has been preying on the poor, innocent pennies simply trying to survive in the vast barren fields of my billfold?
