[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can we talk about the Costco in Arlington/Pentagon City?

First, I think they rearranged it so it has fewer shelves.

Second, their coffee prices seem to have doubled.

Anybody else notice this?[/quote]

Coffee prices at Costco tripled [b]thanks to tariffs[/b].[/quote]

Futures prices have about doubled since last year--tariffs are probably not the primary cause here. [/quote]

Tariffs plus reduction in production due to climate shifts.

The only thing you can do is stop buying that expensive food or beverage item and train yourself to eat / drink something else. [/quote]

But... coffee is really not that expensive? Kirkland French Roast whole bean is under $10/lb. That's like $20/mo for most of us (assuming you and a spouse drink coffee and your kids don't). This is just not a budget-buster item and I suspect it's only being raised in this thread to make hay. Ground beef prices are probably a better example but since there is no tie in that price increase to the Trump election, just a slow ratcheting upward since the pandemic, it's not interesting to DCUM.[/quote]
