We have bought a brand of coffee from HEB for almost 10 years now. It was $2.50 from 2015-2021. Has been around $3.75 since Covid and was $4.88 this week.
We get the 100-pack of assorted flavors, it’s consistently the best deal for coffee.

When the govt drops the chocolate rations from 30 to 25 grams, you simply report that the chocolate rations have been increased from 20 to 25 grams.
The sheeple won't notice.

In doing some light reading I've learned that Vietnamese coffee farmers make crawfish farmers look like non-profit charitable organizations.

I've noticed. My coffee place has increased the prices slowly every month until I looked up the other day and realized in paying DOUBLE what I was one year ago. I am only doing coffee at home now.

Of course they can’t hide it from people who buy coffee.
It’s self evident.

This is incorrect. The removal is a specific package size from the API, Coffee, 100 percent, ground roast, all sizes, per lb. (453.6 gm) remains in the API and coffee remains in the CPI. The screen grab in the tweet clearly says the API and does not mention CPI.

Remember when the WH literally changed the definition of recession?

Puerto Rico farms a pretty good coffee, yet in 1991 had to import coffee pickers from Haiti to do the field work. At the time, unemployment in PR was 20%. Because of the PR social welfare, no body wanted to work

Tbh whores are the only thing that is cheaper.

And we have the same problem here.

Reckon why coffee prices have increased so much?
Haven’t you heard? In the last three years all these corporations have suddenly discovered this new thing called “greed”. It all started, by pure coincidence, right after the Biden regime was installed in Washington. Before then, all corporations were benevolent entities with no interest in things like profit.
(I’m obviously joking, but leftists actually believe this horseshite)

Community is $8.99 at Winn Dixie. Thankfully, it goes on sale every couple of weeks for $4.99 so I grab a few. I won’t pay $8.99.

That's the little bag. Same price at Publix, but I only buy it there when it is buy one, get one free. Publix doesn't sell the big bags, dammit.
Community went up a few bucks during Covid, but has come down to pre-Covid price since, thankfully.

That's an issue in Vietnam right now, too. That, and real estate is going crazy there, so some farms are selling off acreage.

Coffee prices have not increased 78% since last September.
I track this stuff.
In 2020, I paid about $15 or so for the big Dunkin Donuts coffee at Sam's.
By 2022, it had gone steadily up to about $21.
And that's what it costs now. About the same over the course of a year.

The very premise of the thread is a total fabrication. Not sure why you’d believe any specific claims made by these random Twitter accounts.

Got to get the dead coffee drinkers onboard for another 11th hour vote.
