Try finding an actual pound of coffee. The only way to know the actual cost is to keep track of the unit price. Although I noticed CVS has a cute trick. Instead of listing the unit price for coffee by the pound , they now list it by the ounce.

Any shopping trip I would make for groceries for the household included 30 minutes a week of checking the weekly coupon inserts, 30 minutes of list development, 15 minutes of checking the weekly circulars for Shoprite and A&P... then the trip... (it's the best part).

I would have my reusable bags because I was overloaded with plastic and paper grocery hags at home, my coupon and raincheck organizer, and very very important... a calculator. Best unit price with acceptable quality won my consumer dollar.

Coffee procurement was an art. Mom and I both knew the best coffee value and taste was and still is 8 O'Clock Whole Bean, Dark Italian Roast.

A&P would have BOGO sales on the large bags and so on the last day of the sale, I would make a stop at A&P. Because they didn't stock enough every time they had the sale, I could get rainchecks at the sale price... to use any time... and of course when I did buy it was with coupons on top of the sale price... and the register would spit out more coupons. I would be like Quagmire finding a bound and gagged cheerleader in a men's room bathroom stall at the high school.

Dear Diary, Jackpot!

I have pictures on my old phone of 8 of these 34.5 oz. bags lined up on the counter about to go into the chest freezer. It was something like $110 of coffee I would get for $48. That's $2.78/#... for the best G-d damned coffee on the planet.

Anyways... yeah... take a calculator to the store.
