“good coffee is 8 O’clock whole bean Dark Italian Roast”
8 O’clock coffee is consistently excellent across their entire line of whole bean and ground coffees.
I need to go out and do some price shopping compared to the fresh roasted coffee beans I purchase at http://www.coffeebeandirect.com/
When I used to do all the household grocery shopping, Coffee purchases were always made only when A&P had a sale (which I did not regularly shop at other than to browse their "past prime" produce... which my regular grocer did not have.)
A&P was good for having a buy one get one free sale on 8 O'clock Coffee, and I would often go on the second to last day of the sale and find the Dark Italian Roast inventory was nearly wiped out, but not completely.
Hello Rainchecks!
I would take whatever they had left on the shelf (these were the large bags) lock in the sale price on the BOGO sale with rainchecks... and when I would return have previous checkout coupons stacked up.
I wish I could remember the unit price I would be knocked down to... I don't believe 8 O'C sells the Whole Bean Dark Italian Roast in large bags anymore... There are no A&Ps near where I now live.
Oh, and incidentally, my brother buys coffee from coffeebeandirect too, I never have... Hunterdon County is where we grew up.
