Can you afford to buy coffee?

[Anonymous]

Coffee prices are so high that we have to cut back on our daily caffeine. I have not purchased beef in months because of the prices. Is this part of of MAHA?

You really should never buy coffee daily can't you make it at home.

Beef has gotten a bit expensive but still that's a once a week item anyway and you should only be eating about 6oz a serving it should not break the bank.

What’s your budget and how much are you consuming? Some prices have gone up but my income is sufficient that it’s just annoying. Can you spare a dollar a day for a bag of beans? That’s something only you can answer. I would make a food budget and then make adjustments in your cart as you hit your limit. You don’t have to make the same trade off each week.

I buy Bustelo-type espresso and make coffee at home. It's a very small expense and not something I'd cut out...

You can still get 2.5 lb of coffee beans at Costco for around $18.

Folgers is often 12.99 a can with the Safeway card. I'm not a coffee snob.

I have cut back on beef purchases but, coffee?? Yes it’s up but it’s still a drop in the budget bucket on a per-day basis. We are talking about home brewed coffee here, right??

My suburban neighborhood bakery/cafe sold short little 8oz cups of drip coffee for $2.75 for YEARS. I walk the dog past there once a month or so. I stopped in last weekend and the owner rang me up and told me the tiny cup was $4.50! I sarcastically said "Are you sure?" and he felt so embarrassed he created a new button on his touch screen to revert the price back to $2.75.

"You're right, that doesn't sound right, let me fix that."

Sorry but who in the heck is going to pay $4.50 for a tiny cup of drip coffee in a normal suburb? To top it off, I walked out and the coffee was luke warm! I wouldn't have wanted it for free.

You sound exhausting.

We've stopped buying coffee to make at home and never buy it out. It took a few months to slowly come off the caffeine.

I know OP is trolling based on the other thread about food inflation. But will say I buy coffee beans for basically $10 a pound from Mom's and it lasts about two weeks as I drink two cups in the morning. Very affordable.

Will mention I did have a coffeeship cappuccino a day habitat for years and when Covid hit I stopped it and was surprised by how much I preferred coffee at home. And of course it is much better for the pocketbook.

I don't believe that and no, it's not part of MAHA. It's part of you trying to spin it as a political issue.

Coffee at restaurants or at home? I am still making coffee at home but refusing lattes at the bakery. I will get a cheap drip if I'm out of the house and desperate.

I buy beans and make coffee at home. I certainly see the increase in price over the last few months but my morning coffee is one of the few things I enjoy. I almost can’t afford not to buy it.
