For me, coffee is so far down in the noise as to be ignored. But it's also made in my kitchen.
For my family, in order (note, not CA): Health insurance, Mortgage, Food, Taxes, Day care. Transportation misses by a long shot, maybe a factor of 4 from taxes, and 2 from day care.
If I had to cut something, Day care is the easiest chunk, as it's not strictly necessary, but it's a sanity thing.
(This isn't quite accurate, since I haven't added in the company contribution to taxes, but I have to health insurance. Anyway. )
