I am not a fool with my money
vending machines will never replace my brown bag or my wide mouth thermos jar or thermos for coffee..Tupperware or Rubbermaid
Today you can save an easy hundred dollars a month (?) just by fixing you food snacks etc at home
four cups of flavored coffee from home are very close to or less than a dollar each You might save $4 to $8,,, 2 – 3 times a day
Sorry "my friend" I no longer live in the real city.. I am retired.. If I think back I was more interested in enjoying life and Not considering my retirement .."I was covered and paid SSA) NO way it is not enough..
you buy your vending machine goodies at inflated prices
chips at $1.25 for 5¢ of processed potatoes
and spend for the show off coffee

but listen to the people who did not invest their money in them selves first

you need to have a really good location to put the machine
it is a very profitable business as long as nothing happens to the machine and you can service it frequently
you must stock up the machine virtually everyday or every other day especially if the sales are good
you have to have items that people want and the stock has to move quickly
if you don’t have a good location, you are stuck w/ a dumb dinosaur and food items will spoil b/f they sell.

I buy chips, usually. They have vending machines at my work, and I usually skip out on lunch. I use the vending machine to tide me over untill dinner.
