I noticed a drop in coffee this spring.
The Walmart store brand of Columbian is just under $7 but they reduced the container size down to 28 oz.
At another grocery [my town only has 3, including Walmart], their store brand of Columbian is still 34 oz and the price is just under $7. A couple of years ago that 34 oz can was prices at nearly $15.
[I have been stocking up, even before stories about the fungus hitting coffee crops.]
There are still some grocery bargains, but one has to be diligent. There are fewer bargains, it seems, than there used to be.
Trader Joe’s has some good coffee that’s not too expensive.
I used to get my coffee from George Howell. It was very expensive but to me it was worth it. They ship it the day they roast it and their La Minita was to die for. Because of the fungus they dropped La Minita so in desperation I tried Trader Joe’s Hawaiian coffee, their Kauai. It’s quite good and costs a fraction of the Howell coffee. I may not go back to the expensive beans.
