I wouldn’t pay $4 for a cup of coffee. We have coffee at home.
My problem is with paying $4 for a bad cup of coffee, which is basically true at all Starbucks and other name-brand coffee places.
You can find a good cup of coffee at some local coffee shops.
Ya don’t get rich by wasting money.
I went to stock seminar in 1965 and the stock broker said to buy Berkshire Hathaway it was around a hundred fifty dollars….that was a lot of money in 1965…should have got a loan for a hundred shares….
In Episode 23 of the Perry Mason TV series, broadcast in 1958, Perry and Della are at a high-class restaurant, Ferrold’s Cafe. Perry complains that the coffee costs a phenomenal $1.
Prudent and thrifty is one thing, cheap is another.
Sun Valley? Where the SAG and AFTRA Hollywood biggies are meeting?
Where the heck can you get a $4 coffee in Sun Valley? We were there in May and I couldn’t find that. In fact, I bought some roasted coffee beans at Lizzy’s in Ketchum and the price took my breath away — $24 for 12 ounces of “Easy Tiger”! Gotta love a coffee name like “Easy Tiger.” I think it needs a comma, though: “Easy, Tiger.”
It was good, but not THAT good. I like to bring home roasted beans from our travels so I splurge now and then, but that was far and away the highest price I’ve ever paid for roasted beans.
All I’m seeing these recent years is 12 ounce packs of roasted beans (16 ounce packs are now long gone after being the standard size for decades) in the $13-$18 range. At $15, that works out to $0.68 a cup which isn’t bad.
I bought three bags of decaf coffee beans at our Kootenai County Farmer’s Market today: Doma, Tubbs and Narrow Way. Tubbs is named for “Tubbs Hill” in Coeur d’Alene, a popular hiking spot.
Good for her. Of course, her personal assistant might get her a $4 cup of coffee and she’d neve know it.
My local dealer wanted 17k for an oil change.
I was very unhappy but ended up having to apologize for my yelling and then bring them all doughnuts and coffee after I did some research.
Mr. Buffett is a terrible influence on America- but he is not unamusing. This whiny Business Insider diet about following his diet is straight comedy....

Sun Valley via a private jet. Very frugal!
One egg with bacon on a bagel X2, coffee and a 16 oz Snapple, 17. 12 at the bagel shop yesterday. That’s insanity. I can’t do it. Just can’t.
He stops by McDonald’s to grab breakfast on his way to work each morning.
——————————————————————
That stop at McDonald’s probably costs him $1 million each day. In terms of time and lost productivity when buffet could be spending more time making billions of dollars instead of wasting time and money at McDonald’s.
This is the part of the marxist narrative where we demonize the bourgeoisie.
I had a boss who had a favorite saying. “That’s like a dollar chasing a dime.”
In the Buffets case that’s like $1 billion chasing a dime. Don’t be so preoccupied about a four dollar cup of coffee. Don’t be a Scrooge. Enjoy the riches that you have in life.
I paid $2.49 for a cup of coffee, with refills, today at a diner in Indiana. That’s not too far from $4, and Mrs. B has a helluva lot more money than I do. She sounds like a pain....
