I’m still bitter about the 39 Oz. cans of Maxwell House coffee being reduced to 28 Oz. plastic jars.

I’m stocking up on their 100% Columbian due to S. American coffee fungus and other stuff. The 28 Oz. jars were $6.78 at WM last weekend. I like to have a 6 month supply to wait out the spikes.

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.

I bought 4 MaxwelHouse Master Blend 44 ounce containers at Sam’s Club online for $8.58 each.

This year my membership more than paid for itself.
