On the hunt for $1 large coffee! 😃
 

Im always looking for a bargain! Where around here has a good old fashioned $1 cup of coffee? There has got to be somewhere! Paid $2.55 at the local gas station this morning. Yikes! 😬

About 70 miles SSE of here-----Fantasyland :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

I don't know if they've gone up since I've been there, but Fruitland Park Cafe was always proud that they had the 50 cent cup of coffee with free refills.

I leave the house with my 14oz insulated tumbler brewed with a k-cup reusable brew my own @ about $.10 a cup.

I know this was a joke, but I was curious so I checked. $3.69 and up depending on what you order.

If you use the McDonald's app, there is usually a special of any size coffee for $0.99. That is regular or iced coffee. You are limited to once a day.

That ship seems to have sailed away or sunk after covid

You get what you pay for I’ll stick to Starbucks black coffee and no I don’t care about the price and not even sure what the price is because it’s worth it. I’ll also use Dunkin Donuts but not here , only in Boston where the flavor seems to be much better , probably because of the water

They went out of business almost a year ago.

So true its the water definitely ������

A small cup, but you can get free refills.

Watch out for free coffee Tuesdays at WaWAs. I believe you have to download their app to get the notifications.

If you live near a Panera, they have a $12 a month deal (It includes more than just coffee).

Interesting post. I just checked the cost of my coffee made at home and found that the most expensive part was the soy milk I put into it. I bought it at Publix $5.39 64 oz which is pretty well twice the cost for the same item at Walmart. Now you’re making me check my whole grocery list.

Where Can You Find the Best Gas Station Coffee?

Lots of gas stations around. But do they have $1 large coffees?

Fruitland Park Cafe probably went under due to the heavy losses in the coffee column of the ledger.

I'm glad you finally realized that Publix has been GOUGING. Although there are some BOGO items beat Walmart prices.

If you just want one cup of coffee with your meal, most of these full service breakfast restaurants are a ripoff. You will pay about $3.50 for a cup of coffee, including tax and tip. And, the restaurant doesn't want you to know what you paid because many of them conveniently omit the beverage prices from the menu.

I can get that Starbuck's taste at home. I brew coffee (Folger's, Chock Fulla Nuts, 8:00, whatever brand you want). Then I leave it in the pot on the warmer for 3 days. After the bottom gets good and scorched, voilá, Starbucks black coffee.

With refills. :MOJE_whot:

Seriously this is a great deal if you live close and don't have to start your car
and use a golfcart every week.

I know a wealthy friend of mine that lives outside tv, starts his new Lexus up
every morning @ 6:00a.m. and drives to Panera for his free coffee, then again
in the p.m. for another cup.

Seems like a big expense and determination for a cup of coffee that he could make at home.

Many times, they said coffee prices increase with coffee bean prices.
But when prices go down for coffee beans, have you ever seen coffee drop in price??

Check 7-11 and Wawa apps for deals

French press, blue mountain, 2 drops of stevia, yeti tumbler out the door. $2.17

Cold brew blend of 3 dark roast cold brew beans, grind, wait 24 hours. Top with cold froth. $1.27

In a hurry Nespresso half cafe .95 with one espresso shot 1.25 Top with warm froth.

Travels only WaWa’s or Buccee’s.

If I am only drinking one cup of coffee 4 days a week it need to be good, cheap isn’t in the mix. Free coffee Tuesdays is back at WaWa’s

Yes. We order from Amazon and the price does fluctuate

So easy to make good coffee at home for pennies

$1.80/$2.30 for a regular or large to go at Waffle House is about as close as you'll find.

Best price is a refill at convenience store using my 30 oz travel cup but price for that is well over a buck.

Not a coffee drinker myself but thought I'd look up the price of coffee beans. I found that the price per kilogram of both major varieties of coffee is in 2023 nearly identical to the price in 2014. Thus any increases you are paying are for factors other than bean price. the website did not explain how they know the cost of beans in 2024 unless they are using future contracts.

The other graph is longer term of US prices. It does not explain which bean type. Perhaps a blend. But this 45 year graph shows no increase in all those years. These are not adjusted for inflation so your coffee beans are way cheaper than they were in 1975.

According to the article with the long term chart, the farmer only gets 5% of the final supermarket cost of coffee.

As a former hog farmer, nothing unusual there.
The profit is with the middlemen, and retailer, then when feed, and ancillary costs rise, the farmer takes the hit, not the retailer or middleman.
If the true cost, plus a reasonable return was set by the producers, the public would scream blue murder at the price rise in the shop.
There were times when the transport guy taking our pigs to slaughter made more than we did on the load.
And we were one of he more efficient producers.
Gave up, bought a truck, and started making some money!

So can everyone else ,but I and many others like to stop during our day for a cup of coffee maybe even chat up someone while your drinking it , it’s one of life’s simple pleasures a good cup of coffee somewhere or sometime during your day .the same can be said for eating out you can make your food at home ,well I can’t because I don’t know how to cook anything, but dining out for me is a social contact with others and many nights a date it’s not just the food

Yeah, but they will give you refills! Coffee is good.

Psst! Charlieo. The microwave is your friend.

Funny we don’t microwave food or drinks. When we cook or eat out we only order what we can consume at that sitting. Never been a fan of leftovers, unless it’s my moms soup or meatloaf. Only time I use microwave is for the cats food

Great comment!, to each their own of course, but the Starbucks has always been a bit too strong for me. When up north I find Tim Horton's one of my favorite,

You can buy the Starbucks "blonde" version in K-cups, which is supposed to be milder. But, I will drink whatever coffee is the cheapest because I cannot tell the difference.

Or practice, I remember the last time I was driving around Mass - eastern, not the city, probably not the cape - I was astounded to see a Dunkin on every corner. I marveled that they could survive. How many donuts could Massachusetts eat? I didn't consider that they were selling coffee, not crullers or honey dipped. As is probably the subtext of the original post, selling coffee is profitable.

There is probably a YouTube video that demonstrates how you could brew your own cup of coffee. It's one thing to buy gas station coffee when on a 12 hour road trip but to go out and buy it on purpose when you don't have to...yuck!
