Price:

$19.99$19.99 ($0.66$0.66 / Ounce)

I just bought four cans the very end of February. I rechecked the price earlier this week, was still $7.84 Today I figured to pick up four more cans. I like the "Real Tin Cans" seems to keep better. I'll wait and see if the price drops.

Dang. . . I heard coffee was about to go up. . . glad I have a few stored away.

 

[Tirediron]

I noticed that you also really have to be carefully of the best before date too, I stopped at a store, to get a few things, they had coffee on sale but the date was june of this year,
they also had store brand dark roast, dated june of 23 so I grabbed one , then found the stuff i prefer in another store a few days later with June of 23 due date, my oldest stuff is sept of 22, so far, I know a can lasts me 2 weeks, so I won't run out for a while

You gotta watch Amazon. They use machines that are programmed to play you.
I have pulled something up that I had bought before and the price was high.
Was complaining about it and DW pulled up the exact identical thing, on Amazon, on her laptop.
It was $10 cheaper.
Beware of the machines, they are very good at what they do.

Yeah, keep the e-Eyes peeled, that happens sometimes, when certain suppliers run low.. Have had that happen with Canned Salmon recently.. Went up and up and up.. Then Finally, down to where it was, so.. That's when we pulled-trigger on Another 48 cans, etc.. Keep the faith / keep lookin..

..If it's Still like that in a Month, well.. Then, ya.. Might be time to hit the..

What would happen if you quit drinking coffee?

 

[Alaskajohn]

I might need to change the title of my thread, “what would you do with 50% inflation?” We have exceeded that!

Bought coffee yesterday in store and it was normal price.
@Patchouli If I had to stop coffee y’all would probably evict me from the family

 

[JustMe]

Amazon has gotten expensive for alot of things in the last couple of years. I can usually find better prices in stores than online.

Honey, I'd walk you through your coffee withdrawals. But I understand.
I quit it a couple times too. Haven't touched it for 30 years.
On the other hand...Haven't seen Dr Pepper going up too much, right @Terri9630 ? If it's not one caffeine it's another. But coffee really packs a punch.

 

[dademoss]

Nobody on Amazon could touch the price of "off the shelf" Hills coffee at the local rural king.

No coffee, ok, I would not miss it! I get up running

 

[Patchouli]

It's something to consider having in storage even if you don't drink it, to use for trade, barter, sacrifice, ransom.

But do they deliver to Alaska..??

 

[JustMe]

But do they deliver to Alaska..??

Another option would be to get a grinder and buy the beans, if you don't have access to a brick & mortar store. I would think that would be cheaper in the long run, but maybe a different flavor? Idk

 

[dademoss]

But do they deliver to Alaska..??

There is always a price to be paid for living in the far away places. For me, it's a 20 minute drive.

They ship, you can see if it's worth it.

It hasn't gone up much but its been hard to find.

Any coffee "WITHOUT" vanilla flavored creamer is........YUCKY.

You got no vanilla flavored creamer.......You can stuff your coffee.

I was going to post this exact thing. But I scanned down the rest of the thread and saw that Super beat me to it.

Don't trust a price you see on Amazon to represent the "real" price of things. Try clearing your browser cookies, its cache, and even log out of your Amazon account. You may very well see totally different prices on the same items after each change (but sometimes not). And check other places too. I used to assume Amazon was the best price. But my eyes were opened on several occasions when something I found on Amazon was 1/2 the price at the local Best Buy. Amazon is out to separate you from your money in a big way these days. They are not your bargain-finding friend anymore, like they once were. And now with all the third party sellers on Amazon, you have to watch things like a hawk. Do not expect a search on Amazon to point you to the cheapest seller of the item you are searching.

It hasn't gone up much but its been hard to find.

I can find DP around here, but I have to drive 125 miles to find Ruby Red Squirt.

$7.98 at Walmart.
Amazon's prices swing wildly. I buy there when they swing to rock bottom. In fact, I get EVERYTHING except perishable food there, because at some point, everything hits rock bottom price.

I have "NO" idea how to do any of that. And sadly, you would be wasting your time trying to help me do that. Truth is I don't even know what "cookies" are on a computer.

Unfortunately, Amazon Prime is the way some of us get a great percentage of our supplies since it saves us from long trips into town. The great deals are few and far between on Amazon and I suspect it’s the same way in stores.

Few and far between? If that was the case, I wouldn't be able to make a living posting affiliate links.
Here is the image that went with the ad I posted on a local group last Monday.
