58. I bought some Wellesley Farms Ground Decaf today- it went up by $3-4

May 18

From last time. I also bought some 8 O'Clock Columbian beans, 30 oz for $14.95 and a coffee grinder because I wanted to try Columbian and fresh ground coffee. I'm not sure what the normal price is, but I bought the regular beans, 40 oz for about $9.99 at Amazon, it is still 9.99 now. Usually I get Folger's instant at BJs for myself. I bought a few when it was on sale. The price went up by $2 or so. It is pretty inexpensive and easy to make.

I'm not sure if it is all due to tariffs because I read prices were expected to go up due to issues with growing coffee beans.

I am thinking about switching back to green tea, which is actually more expensive than coffee. I bought some of that as well at BJs. It has gone up by about $2 but that happened 2-3 years ago during the pandemic- Bigelow Organic Green Tea bags. I tried matcha once but I didn't care for it and it caused reflux. That tea almost never goes on sale, maybe once in 1.5 years, so I stock up whenever it does.
