Coffee Prices...OMG
I just opened a "new" can of coffee. The can was the SAME EXACT SIZE as the last one i bought.
Only the previous can said Net Wt. 34.5 oz
The New Can says Net Wt. 27.8 oz. ...(It was NOT full)
I ALSO used to buy Hills Bros Coffee as I love it, however, it is no longer available in all the grocery stores near me, so I bought an off brand, (hate to say it Great Value Dark Roast) from Walmart.
It IS AWFUL. I'm going to take it back..it tastes worse than dishwater.
We are getting really really duped on SIZE...I'm going to watch it closer.
Thanks for listening to my rant!
The only problem is, no primitives came to this campfire to listen, and it's been almost three weeks.

Who can afford coffee in this * economy?

AFAIAC, there is only one coffee in this world: Community Coffee dark roast.
I brew a small pot each morning, very strong, with a little sugar, and drink 2 mugs and no more.
A great eye-opener!!

3 words... 8 'o clock coffee. They have been around longer than all those gourmet coffees combined. Ain't as expensive as all those gourmet coffees either and tastes better.

We stopped buying coffee at the grocery store a long time ago. We buy ours through the mail from an outfit in Minnesota. The best thing is, it is no more expensive than what you get at the grocery store.

Commodities are up DUmmie, while our dollar declines. Welcome to the world of your lord zero.

Obama, Timmeh, and the Bernank.
He's really going to be pissed when it is another 3 oz smaller in a few months after 600 billion is digitally created.

^^Exactly.
We're all going to feel it, unfortunately. :bawl:

I'm a coffee fanatic as well. I have no idea how Starbucks got so popular...they over roast their beans.

Everyone knows negative interest rates creates honest capital formation based on the merit of work and offering products people need
:rotf:
I swear after the 4th time we've played the low interest rate game to create credit bubbles you'd think someone might have figured out they were destroying the capital structure of the country and encouraging people to invest overseas.

I still am scratching my head how a guy who got every policy decision wrong the 4 years he was in his job was given a second term by the United States Senate.
When the voters are dumb and fooled and elect someone they shouldn't, I'm not surprised but the Senate is supposed to be the body that supervises such idiotic decisions for important positions like Chairman of the Central Bank.

Eight O'Clock Original is my regular brand. Actually, Wal-Mart's Great Value 100% Arabica is pretty good too and more than holds its own against the other "standard" brands.
When I want to treat myself I get Starbuck's House Blend whole bean and grind it myself. It's much better than what SB's serves in their stores.

I've been wanting to try some Kona for a long time. Maybe I'll find the courage to get up off my wallet for it soon. :-)
My wife just recently bought one of those Keurig single-cup machines that brews from the little individual "K-cup" containers. It's been fun experimenting with all the different brands that came with it in the sampler pack.

LOL! Well, I like it but a lot of folks don't.

I applaud the 18 Republicans and 11 democrats that voted against him.
The other 70 Senators of both parties...not so much.

Bananas at Walmart are now 47 cents a pound, rather than 38 cents a pound.
Inflation. What ya gonna do?

Bananas aren't what concerns me as much as grain and oil.
I like to drive, drink beer and to eat steak.
Both of those commodities rising means the less of that we can all do.

I was just pointing out a very obvious price hike. Walmart always had good, cheap bananas. Now they are good and a bit more expensive.

Exactly. Everyone's "level of living" will have to be adjusted to this rising commodities costs.
I do not like it. :censored:

I am concerned about the rising price of cotton. The rest as well. Especially the beer and steak. Also the driving, but not at the same time.

Cotton is one to be watched closely. China has been buying cotton.

As an added bonus when fuel goes up that will cause prices on other commodities to go up even more. So most commodities will have 2 reasons to go up.

Don't give up Freeper. People are calling Michael Savage tonight and are saying that people are waking up more and more! Time to take the Country back! Hear that DUmmies/libs/progressives.

Oh I haven't given up, I still hold out hope the tea party got the GOP's attention and we can save the Republic yet.
In the meantime it's going to get worse. I honesty believe the dems will do their best to keep the economy in the shitter so in 2012 they can claim we did nothing to fix it.

I couldn't agree with you more, on all fronts. And it is a damn shame.

It is a shame and a disgrace. :argh:

Stock up on your sugar.
I heard on Glenn Beck today that Spooky Dude bought a whole bunch of land for sugar cane. We don't use a ton of sugar in our household, but it would probably be smart to grab a few extra bags while you're out.

Beck is just a kook.

It's hard to listen to him lately but, he seems to be right.

The CME doubled the margin account requirements on Friday.
The CME is trying to prevent margin bets, they can't stop hard money bets and since the Fed just printed 600 billion for the people that do that type of activity.....

Seems like everytime I go to the store prices are going up

I always buy extra, and store it.

DH and I love our Keurig brewer! We order online and get it a little cheaper than in the stores here, plus no tax and a 20% discount for being excellent and repeat offenders, um, customers, PLUS free shipping and bonus sample packs depending on how much we spend.
We like to experiment with the different kinds as well, but it basically comes down to a good cup of regular medium to bold coffee.
I figure it costs us roughly 60 cents a cup and tastes a heck of alot better than Starbucks, of which there are at least three in our little mini city. All located inside grocery or department stores and always full of customers. :???:

If I deviate from my humble cup of Dunkin Donuts coffee I get it from these guys http://www.bocajava.com/ . The coffee is great and for every two bags you buy they send one to our troops overseas. They also match donations if you want to give directly.
I signed DH up for their Operation Million Cup and they sent him a huge box brimming with free coffee. http://www.bocajava.com/learn/troops/index.jsp. Great company that supports the troops!
