So, what - an extra 2 cents a cup? Outrageous! Let's all boycott the small coffee roasters in response to these gouging practices and save money buying those great big cans of Folger's, instead. From the big box stores; no point supporting local business. Because drinking small roast coffee is about saving money, just like drinking wine out of a box offers the same delight to the palate as a a special vintage bottle. Or tap water. That saves time and money. I'm going to rig up a roofwater runoff system so I can have water for my morning wakeup and bypass the whole commercial shebang. I remember buying pound bags of Starbucks coffee back in 1992 for around $11 a pound. Seventeen years later SCW is selling at 13.52. Gas was around 1.15 in 1992 and now its 2.97 (or 4.30 in election years). Perspective, people. Hmmm, 50 cents a pound increase, eh? So, what - an extra 2 cents a cup? Outrageous!
