I've got a big problem

I can generally control my drinking of booze. I can say, ok, I won't drink any booze for a few days or for Lent, I can just say I won't drink until Easter. No problem.
But, I absolutely cannot stop with coffee. I've tried to stop cold turkey. I've tried to cut back a little more of it at a time. I've tried reading books on the subject. I cannot do it. So, I've just accepted it. I'm a coffee junky and there's nothing I can do about it.
I generally like to make a nice mix of Bustelo and Cafe du Monde as my preferred morning and day drink.
Just 5 years ago, a brick of Bustelo was $2.12. Even at the height of the Biden years, it got up to $5.20. At this point, with the tariffs, it's now about $8.25 for same brick where I live.
What am I to do as this habit is becoming expensive. I cannot find any comparable coffee made in Hawaii (where I believe the only American coffee grown and distributed exists). It seems every place out there that makes coffee is affected.
Are there any brands I can have a look at that any of you know of are not affected as much by the tariffs?

Lean in to it, start treating yourself to better coffee that you can pay even more for.

You're an alcoholic, yet you are worrying about the cost of coffee?

Get a job at Starbuck's, get employee discount.

Well obviously not. But I’m no lousy holier than thou teetolar either.

Replace the coffee with a good strain of sativa in the mornings. You'll be ready to attack the day like never before

A part time job could be good.

I would but I’ve got one of those jobs where I can’t do it.

Wasn’t aware. Haven’t had Folgers in 30 years.

Folgers Black Silk in the big tub is pretty good value and isn’t bad coffee at all.

I’ll see if I can locate this.

I have switched to $3 90ct bottle of 200mg caffiene pills
1 coffee at home in the morning, 1 200mg around 1pm and then another at 7 if I want to party.

I think I may be more addicted to coffee more than caffeine but I will be looking into this idea

I took one of these caffeine tablets about 2 years ago and think I still have the jitters from that thing.

I know several people who have had to quit a lot of stuff, all of them said no coffee on day 5 was what they though kicking heron was supposed to be like.
Since I have never tried to kick either I can't verify but every one of them said it was horrible.

I used to take them a long time ago at uni. but honestly they never seemed to do the trick. Maybe my biology has changed a bit.
