For years, I have ordered coffee pods through Amazon. It's been so long, I can't even estimate how many years. It was always $33.24 for 100. The last 2 months it went down to $30.xx. I shoulda known.....It was the wrong time for anything to go down in this inflationary economy.
Well, there was an explanation--which I discovered after the fact. I'm pretty sure I could have figured it out if I'd just taken the time to think about it. But, hey, who wants to question a $3 price reduction, right?
Well, the other shoe dropped this month. There's redesigned packaging and my subscribe and save pricing has gone up to $43.59. I don't have an extra $10 a month I want to spend on coffee pods. I've tried alternatives to the Keurig. I have failed at every one of them. There was the percolator. There was the electrical drip pot. There was the French press. There was even an espresso pot. No matter what, I cannot seem to make a decent cup of coffee. I could pick a method and experiment with it til I got to something decent. But, that entails issues. What do I do with a full pot of French press coffee if I hate the first cup? Will God forgive me if I pour the excess out?
Well, anyway what I finally decided to do was to order some of those fill-'em-yourself little coffee pod thingies. They're in my Amazon shopping cart now. Now I just need to push the button and stock some Yuban or Maxwell House...........
