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?

[Mike B the Cajun]

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.

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.

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



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.

Under donk rule it was no mistake. NO MISTAKE.

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.
