Amazon sucks. Buy local. Coffee hasn't gone up yet here.
Let's see 245 miles round trip. @ 9 miles to the gallon about 28.5 gallons at $5.00 per gallon = $140.00 just for fuel. I would have to put insurance on the truck for one month minimum = $120.00 so around $260.00 (living in PARADISE, ALASKA - Priceless)

When Trump was in office it cost $25 to go to town, now probably triple that. When we have a dr. appointment or some other chore that can't be put off we go shopping and complete as many chores as possible. Amazon is usually cheap but no place is always the cheapest. Sometimes the most expensive costs less when you add in all the expenses.

I get that. It's not an option for everyone to buy local.
 
I used that emoji on here last night You Rock ..

Heh, that would be the RockEr emojii, M'Lady.. :) I was ref'ing the 'Rocking Chair guy'-mojii, that Used to be in the avail "Likes" options (but, sadly, is no more..) That was perfect for those 'Yeeesh' / Eeek posts / news-bits / situs, etc... SheepDog talking about posting pix of his 'One Button Suit', etc.. JK!! :p

..But that one you used, indeed... Rocks.. :)

Oh that one.
But do you drink coffee? I’m glad I don’t have to have it, I remember the lunatic feelings of going without it. Go ahead and laugh.
No one has mentioned tea prices. I drink herbal teas and they’ve been going up in price before all this other nonsense. I used to pay between $3 and $4 a box for a particular herb and brand 6 years ago. It is now $7-$8 per box. It never went up that much before. It is a weed and not worth paying that much for the amount.

I think you can make tea with certain other...weeds...😉

Yah, but not Too much.. Cup / Maybe 2 a day, sometimes (if on a 'Road Trip', etc) but.. Won't be one of the 'Caffeine Zombies', whence it all runs out (and we've stocked a good amount of Roasted Beans, and some 'Greenies' to roast ourselves) but.. Even that's 'eventually finite', and Highly-doubt we'll be 'growing beans' ourselves...

..Unless we move back to El Salvador some crazy-how, then.. Maybe. ;)

I clicked the link; it's back down to around $8. You sure the $20 wasn't from another seller, rather than from Amazon? Third-party sellers can be outrageously priced, and will be what's offered when Amazon is out-of-stock.
 
My coffee stash is safe... It's all decaf!
The only crutch that I have is chocolate. I don't use it often and can leave it behind.
 
I'm sorry Patchouli, I wouldn't joke about that. Decaf, no caffeinated soda, I don't drink tea.
If you call me doggie dog I will jump up and lick that pretty face of yours. ;)
