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!!

Very few smokers these days.
Mainly vapers.

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

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.

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

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
