$8.25 for same brick where I live.
I would assume you'd get multiple cups from a single brick. Say, ten cups from each brick? In that case, you'd be talking $0.82 per cup. Half of that if you get 20 cups. Half again--about 20 cents--if you get 40 cups. Obviously more than pre-shamdemic, but still not exactly breaking the bank.

But, I absolutely cannot stop with coffee. I've tried to stop cold turkey. I've tried to cut back a little more of it at a time. I've tried reading books on the subject. I cannot do it. So, I've just accepted it. I'm a coffee junky and there's nothing I can do about it.

A recent Tulane study is the latest of many academic studies to show a correlation between coffee drinking and longevity. It seems that the correlation holds for coffee drunk in the morning. Coffee drunk in the afternoon takes away the benefits but doesn’t reverse it. And the more you drink in the morning the better, seemingly.

Buy in bulk directly from the manufacture. I’m talking cases. You’ll get a great discount and have your product stockpiled.

I grind my own beans. Mostly buy Lavazza whole bean off Amazon on sale and bulk up. Usually under $15 for 2.2 lb bag. Drinking some 8 O'Clock beans I got on sale now.

You can buy cheap bags of beans if you are patient for sales and buy in bulk.

Rotation usually involves Lavazza, Tim Horton's, 8 O'Clock, and sometimes Caribou.

If coffee costs more he has less money left for booze. Duh!

Get tested


I’d suggest skipping the testing. It’s already too far at this point.

Need to get triple vaxxed immediately.

I don't even know what that is, but I'm ashamed for you. Change your flag to a Navy, Air Force or Rainbow, but quit shaming my Corps until you get your nads back. Fricking *&%@!!!

Just 5 years ago, a brick of Bustelo was $2.12. Even at the height of the Biden years, it got up to $5.20. At this point, with the tariffs, it's now about $8.25 for same brick where I live.

What am I to do as this habit is becoming expensive.
if $8 is breaking the bank then you have other issues

Been off coffee for 5 months now. Do it. We all shouldn't be caffeine addled zombies.

Tapered off a caffeine habit by switching to instant coffee and making one cup at a time.

Found that if there is a whole pot of coffee, a whole pot getting drunk.

Instant not as good, lower in caffeine and making a single cup requires more effort than pouring another cup so it helps taper down.
