Hot, iced, blended or plain old black, coffee gets us going and helps us unwind. We need it, we want it, but can we afford it?
The smell…the taste…the cost. In these times of scrimping pennies and saving gas, no coffee connoisseur wants to even think about giving up his morning java. After all, you won’t go broke on coffee…as long as you steer clear of gourmet coffee stores and head to warehouse clubs and discount stores instead.
Where to Find the Best Deals on Whole Bean Coffee:
- Sam’s Club You don’t even have to fight the traffic, beat the lines or waste gas. Just point and click to Sam’s Club online. There you’ll find a 40-ounce bag of Member’s Mark Marques de Paiva French Roast whole bean coffee for $14.62 including shipping. This stuff rivals Starbucks any day in price and taste. The whole beans last longer than ground coffee and taste fresher. Just make sure you grind only the beans you’ll use everyday.
- Amazon If you like organic French roast coffee, the deals are here. A pack of three 16-ounce bags of Rocamojo Organic Gourmet Wild French Roast Coffee runs $21.64 and is eligible for free shipping if you spend $25. And if you don’t have a grinder at home, Amazon carries the Krups 203-42 Fast Touch Coffee Grinder for $19.95.
- Discount Coffee Here you’ll find a two-pound bag of 100 Percent Columbian Gourmet Coffee Beans by Cadillac Coffee for $14.95. You’ll receive free shipping on orders over $50. You’ll also find cheap prices on sweetner and creamer.
- Same Old Grind This online coffee and tea store offers more than 80 varieties of whole bean coffee. You won’t save much, but if you are looking for a certain variety of bean, you will almost certainly find it here. But what this site does offer that the others don’t is a coffee sampler pack. So if you want to try dark Italian Roast, Sumatra Dark, Moka Java Dark, and Mexico Dark, you can buy a half pound of each for $20. And if you buy a five pound bulk bag of certain coffees, you’ll save 10 percent.
Wherever you choose to buy your coffee, don’t purchase it already ground. Store the whole beans in your freezer and you can enjoy coffee for months to come. And when you grind the beans in the morning your kitchen will smell of fresh brew; while you relish in the feeling of having just saved several bucks by making the java yourself instead of having a barista do it for you.
