Drink club at Panera is around $13 a month for unlimited coffee and cold beverages. Less than $1 a cup if you use it more than 13 times a month.

It’s almost the year 2024. Coffee ain’t a buck anymore

Wish I could meet the salesperson who coined "You get what you pay for." PT Barnham would be proud.

In UK Starbucks Americano is $3.78

20 filter cigarettes, or Marlboro are $20+ a packet.:shocked:

I was hoping someone would suggest Panera's Sip Club. I bought mine annually for $99. A Sip Club members can get a coffee (or other beverages) every two hours. If I go once daily, that's about 27 cents per cup!

I am totally amazed that people actually drive to a venue, buy a cup of coffee, then take it home to drink.
Then complain about the cost of a cup of Coffee!
WTH!:shrug:

Home brewed coffee.

Does that include refills?

might be a good idea for people who answer a post to add WHICH post you are answering! That one about the company closing did not specify which post and which company closed!!

While you're at it, you might as well include Aldi's in your price comparisons. You'll be surprised.

If you go to Panera and buy one coffee you fill it yourself at the coffee station. You then can refill all you want.

Closed

Glad I was able to quit
 

Wow. Bet it's tougher to bum a smoke these days, eh?

Starbucks is the worse. They burn the beans so all locations taste the same. 95% of Starbucks sold has sugar, cream, coco or other sweet stuff in it so you can’t really taste the coffee. Plus the cost of Starbucks is crazy.

Sounds like if the local bar charges $.50 for a beer, you wait until happy hour.

Don't forget to factor in the price of travel

Not just for leftovers. Prepackaged meals from you from your favorite restaurants to be frozen and reheated when going out may not be a reasonable option for you. Did it for years when traveling in the motor home. We'd get to our campsite. No restaurants for miles. Don't want to have to start preparing a meal. Just reach into the freezer and pick what you want. Heat and eat. No mess and no waiting for dinner. Works just as well at home.

Oh man, that could be a thing of the past!

Circle K “sip and save”. Check it out.

That comment is accurate for many things____including me.

Free coffee Tuesdays at WaWa.

For $11.99/month plus tax, you can enjoy any size drip hot coffee, hot tea, iced coffee, iced tea, Charged Sips, lemonade, or fountain beverage every two (2) hours during regular bakery-café hours, including free refills of the same beverage at any participating U.S. Panera Bread bakery-cafes. You can choose any size drip hot coffee, hot tea, iced coffee, iced tea, Charged Sips, lemonade, or fountain beverage when redeeming your subscription benefits.

This is an amazing deal if you live near one. However, I think the only two are in Spanish Springs and Lake Sumter. Nothing in Brownwood or Sawgrass. Maybe they will put one in Eastport!!

McDonald’s get the senior discount and it’s good coffee

No chance!
Very few smokers these days.
Mainly vapers.

I love my Nespresso machine, it’s the first shot in morning when I get up around 9:30 ,when I leave for gym I love to take with me to drink in car a can of Starbucks espresso or a Red Bull to fire me up and later another Starbucks coffee and another before I head out for night . ( it’s a good thing I don’t go to bed till around 1:30 or 2 lol)I love coffee and the cost is not a problem , but the added on cost of having my teeth cleaned every 3 months because of the coffee I should add to the price of my coffee drinking

We discovered on a recent road trip, that many of the “gas station” convenience stores now have a coffee machine that grinds the beans for your cup and then dispenses the coffee. It was delicious!! And I think it was around $1!!

paying for convenience if shop at Publix’s if live close to one.

That’s exactly right. The grind and brew places really produce an excellent cup of coffee. Ignore all of the haters.

Well, Walmart is 150 steps or so away. My fault for not looking at the receipt - you know they always tell you orally at the checkout and in writing at Publix how much you just SAVED. I was not the one doing the grocery shopping in the past so I wasn’t familiar with the prices.

Not trying to be a wise guy, but you’re exactly right!

Plus nespresso has upped their game to cold brew(I still do it with really big French press) and over ice brews. Not big on caffeine since oncology says it’s not your friend. So one coffee every other day is all my body can expect.

Back in the day I drank roughly 2 pots made with my bodum vacuume maker. Best coffee ever. Kids still love to watch the water rise in the top whirl around the grounds, then back into the pot. Still in use after 15 years

i just turned 86 if my vices haven’t killed me by now, there’s no sense in giving them up

You aren't married, are you.

Precisely.
Giving up vices in old age is life threatening!

Spending much of my life (40) years in third world countries full of beautiful woman I never saw the point and after I retired never saw the need and besides it’s hard to change old habits and I don’t want to . I do make a great fun date , but I would make a bad boyfriend or husband lol

It’s just the way one is raised, if it doesn’t go in a wok, skillet Or air fryer. It doesn’t go on our table. All beef is rare, chicken seared in a hot wok, and fish air fried. Raised in a southern household, microwave not allowed in our family.

My mom still won’t have one in her house. Leftovers goes back in a cast iron to make hash. But we all have bacon grease on our stove.

We moved here from the Pacific Northwest, Oregon, Washington. Mc Cafe and Dunkin and other so called coffee places would not last a week back home. Starbucks is minimally acceptable as they offer several diffent roasts and varieties. A good coffee shop should offer several varities of coffee as well as roast levels. Seems most places here offer medium roast Columbian coffee which is like ordering vanilla ice cream at Mystic ice cream. I like a sumatra coffee because of its low acidity, sometimes I like it roasted dark and I like that burnt flavor. But if I'm just relaxing and enjoying a cup of coffee I like a real light roast . It's great in the afternoon as the caffine level is higher in a lighter roast. The flavor is more subtle almost like a tea, but so much better. Beans lose flavor extremly fast after grinding so grinding fresh is a must. Anyplace that uses coffee out of a can or pre-ground is not serving great coffee. How coffee is prepared is very important. For an individual cup you definitly want poured over coffee, This is very common in most coffee houses in Oregon/Washington. Second most common is a french press.
I have found one very good coffee cafe in the area. "The coffee snob" in Leesburg is the closest place my wife and I have found that serves excellent coffee and sells a variety of beans and roast levels

Adopt me!

We've been ordering Tim Horton's Coffee from Amazon for years.

We are slowly transitioning away from Dunkin donuts coffee when at home to in home brewing and getting beans and grinding them ourselves as the easiest way to save money with coffee. . .

driving the car to get cheap coffee seems like alot of work (and hidden expense) instead of just filling a pod and popping it in the single serve coffee maker at home. . .
