Coffee at Amazon

occasionalrain — Fri, 08 Aug 2025 04:06:04 GMT

I wanted to order coffee and had it in my cart, then before I could check out, the price went up $7. If only I hadn't procrastinated and ordered it yesterday. I've never excelled at sports, but at procrastinating, I'm Olympic worthy.

I buy coffee and dog food from Amazon. I am in auto ship to get the discount, but I check out the prices every month.

They both have been going up. There is a shortage of coffee beans and the tariffs don't help.

I have been checking around for dog food and can get it cheaper on occasion, but not always.

I buy coffee beans and Kirkland dry dog food from Costco. I switch around my coffee brands every order to take advantage of deals.

Amazon has turned into Kohls.

If you don't like today's price, come back tomorrow. 😉

We like the McCafe Dark Roast coffee. The 30oz can at Walmart was always $12.99. I was at a Kroger store and noticed it was about $20.00. So I decided to stock up at Walmart as the price was probably going to go up. I have some hoarded away so I have not purchased any in a while.

Yesterday at Kroger I noticed the price is now $29.99!!!!!!!! For a 30 oz can. I checked at Walmart and it is now $19.96. So glad I stocked up!

My favorite coffee on Amazon went up about 30% this week. I happened to run across a sale for half that price at Walmart so ordered a bunch.

I'm not surprised at the price increase since new tariffs hit this week. We always pay tariffs at the checkout.

I buy flavored ground coffees at Home Goods/TJM. Their selection has been limited, I bet the price will be higher once they restock for fall. I got three or four bags, which will last a while for 6.99. They usually have a great selection. Maybe its because of summer. I sometimes will purchase Dunkin or Starbucks at CVS when I have 40 or 35% coupon. I got some Starbucks peppermint coffee after Christmas for just a few dollars. It was in christmas packaging.

I buy Wegman's 100 pk. of pods for $29.99. I purchased a box last week at that price. I looked the other day when I went there and the price had not changed. They used to do a $2.00 of clip coupon, but haven't seen one recently. They last awhile as I only drink one cup a day except for today when somehow my cat managed to dunk her tail in what I had just made. Dumped that one and made another. Bummer

Silver lining - perhaps the higher prices are a good incentive to drop this unhealthy habit.

I buy the cold brew liquid pods from Amazon. Cold brew should have less acid.

From JAVA HOUSE

I don't have a Keurig...I heat water in Microwave, add coffee! Works for me!

In fact, coffee has several health benefits.

I quit drinking coffee 2 or 3 years ago. I was never a huge fan and one morning decided I just didn't want to bother with it. Seems it might have been a wise decision.

I have the big box of Keurig Donut Shop pods on "Subscribe and Save" from Amazon. The price fluctuates all the time. This next delivery is about $4.00 less than the last time. When it's on sale and cheaper at Costco, I buy a box and skip the next shipment in my subscription. Seems to work out.

That happened to me too with K cups on Amazon. I found a good price for what I was looking for, bought them, and the next time I went to order the price had increaed by about $15 for I think about 90 pods.

Went elsewhere and found a good deal, then a few weeks later the price on Amazon was back to the original price I paid. Maybe they think people reorder without looking at theprice???

Just recently I bought a jar of Folgers instant coffee b/c I was fed up with ground coffee prices. Turned out to be good and cheaper.

Not everyone will which means they lose business because they're not the only game in town.

It's harmful to our own businesses, especially small independent ones. Some things like coffee beans have to be sourced from other countries.

got me to thinking about costs going up. So I went to Amazon and went to orders checking on repete items I have bought for a long time. One, is Stone Street Coffee, April, I paid 13.99, (it isn't quite a pound), It is coarse ground for a French press. Today's price is 18.32. Niger bird seed went up 6 bucks last 3 months. What shocked me was a small Radio Flyer trike, for my almost 2 yr old grandson. In June I paid 59.00, but I think it was reduced then from 69., today it is 95.00. Omg, that is too much. It's a tiny 9" wheel thing for toddler. It is solid steel. I am glad I bought early for him, it already has increased in value, lol!! One way to look at it,
