You or someone else a good while ago posted about using a metal coffee can in an emergency situation and I had one source to get a metal one lb. can and I had thrown them away instead of keeping them. When my son comes from London, I buy a one lb. can of Chock Full o’Nuts coffee to use when he is here as that is his choice - and those are metal cans.

I have three of them now. Most of what you see is plastic for small ones and large cans have cardboard sides. I'm bad about keeping the big ones with cardboard sides. I can't seem to throw them away - I might need that in a SHTF situation. Hopefully, I won't get as bad as those hoarders on the Hoarder TV show whose house is so full of “stuff” one can't walk around and sanitation people have to come in to clean it out.

That is some seriously crappy coffee. I got a pound as a gift from Someone. I used it, so as not to hurt Her feelings, but gak....

I still have plenty of metal coffee cans. I buy Always Save Coffee from Country Mart or Alps. They are cheaper than the name brands, taste ok, and give me the cans which I use to store lots of stuff.
