I drink a 14 cup pot of coffee every day, Yuban regular roast, not fancy but it's what I like. I like to keep a supply on hand and I buy it but the case either at Walmart, Costco or Amazon. The last time I ordered the price was around $12.50 for the 44oz container. This morning I went to order on Amazon and it's not available, next I look at Walmart. They have it BUT $44.14 for a 44oz container. This damn inflation is really screwing the seniors on a fixed income.

But the price only goes up 7.1% to match inflation. How can that be more then a little problem for the next two years said the white house in their own way. Joe has a plan for a soft landing.

Looks like maybe they are in the process of changing from the can to plastic.

I used to buy Folger's until they did that. Changed the flavor of the coffee to me. Plus, I just hate that everything we consume is wrapped in plastic. I look for alternatives when I can.

They are blaming climate change and supply chain issues.

Not true about inflation, Biden gave a national address Tuesday morning and it’s all under control, things are awesome.

For November inflation year over year was barley an anemic 7%.

Cost has nothing to with my comment. You need to decrease the amount you’re drinking.
I used to drink all day. Seriously 10 to 12 cups a day. You need to get off that much. From experience. You will feel better and won’t desire that much caffeine like you think you do .
Shit. Listen to me preaching. Lol. You know you. Do what’s best.
But I did hear there is going to be a code surge and prices dropping soon. Take that from 1070 news radio.

the fanciest we ever got was grinding beans from Duncan but that got too pricey
My wife grinds the coffee every morning. It does not make any difference to me.

thinking back, I think Yuban is just as good as grinding Duncan beans.

When I need my coffee, Peet's Major Dickasons Blend, I search ebay and find the cheapest by the ounce and buy it. Just bought yesterday at $.37 an ounce.
