I have close to 4 lbs. of another brand that I bought in November of 2025. Price was $12 a lb.

Can't even afford a decent cup of coffee any more.

I quit using creamer to save $$$!

so much I won’t run out until the next President takes the oath. I store it properly but have no hesitation to use it after the expiration date. If doing that could be my demise I would have died decades ago.

A connoisseur I’m clearly not, but if I looked at the prices now I’d probably fall over.

I tried that for awhile. I bought six lbs. from a seller on ebay and the bags were split open in the back.

Freezing it takes away a lot of the flavor over time. Not sure that is a great idea.

Best of luck with whatever you decide to do!

4. I bought an 18 mo. supply and froze the beans of my moderate priced Arabica coffee six months ago.

When I'm down to my last six months, if prices are still going northward, I will try to alternate tea at least EOD (and yes, I did stock up on that too).

I can and do eat simply and typically fairly cheaply. But, I NEED MY COFFEE!

My go-to Eight o Clock is slowly rising in price too.

Hey President Dipshit, how do we grow coffee in the United States?

When I could get them for about $9 a can. Mr. Bayard did not keep that restocked, and when he went to buy coffee this morning, it was $20 for a one lb can.

I can't live without coffee, and my sugarless caramel vanilla creamer.
