I love flavored coffees, but they are hard to justify in my budget at times. I do not use cream or sugar in my coffee so those creamers and syrups don't work for me either.
I tried putting a teaspoon of vanilla extract in my coffee pot decanter and then brewed a pot and it is good!!! I know that I have seen many different types of extracts, amaretto, chocolate, nut flavors to name a few. I like this idea as I can brew a different flavor every day, and I can pick up a different flavor as I come across them :D :D :D

Here are a few recipes - they all have creamer in though.
Each variation will yield about 20 cups. Mix ingredients in blender. Stir 2 rounded teaspoons into each cup of hot water. Enjoy
Orange Flavored Coffee
½ cup instant coffee, ¾ cup sugar, ½ cup powdered creamer, ½ teaspoon orange peel
Vienna Flavored Coffee
½ cup instant coffee, ¾ cup sugar, ½ cup powdered creamer, ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Mocha Flavored Coffee
½ cup instant coffee, ¾ cup sugar, ½ cup powdered creamer, 2 teaspoons cocoa

I will add cinnamon to the grounds when brewing.
I've also added orange too. Just "shred" the orange peel and put in with the grounds. Smells really nice!
I went and bought a Keurig coffee maker.
I was wasting so much coffee, just making a pot for myself, that it wasn't cost effective for me to use the big pot with just me drinking it. I was wasting more than I was drinking. With the Keurig, I can make a single cup and there's no more waste. Hubby loves it too for his quick cup to work in the morning.

tlrnhi,
with our left over coffee i usually make iced coffee. let coffee cool and add some milk and sugar. We also sometimes just dump a can of star bucks or something similar to the container instead of milk...Hubby likes his ice coffee on the bitter side.

Great! The spiced coffee idea is very nice. I used to be real big on buying the flavored coffees, but I got kinda burned out on it. I think I will try some of these ideas, though.
The flavored creamers do work for me. I drink a lot of cream in my coffee..

The lightning just recently ran in on my good maker, so I'm using my back-up maker (which I don't get along with).
Left over coffee? What? There's no coffee that goes to waste in this house.
