    So I quit getting the Amazon coffee back in December because they raised the prices to exceed the cost of Sam's Club Colombian that I was getting previously. Went to Sam's Club to buy some and they didn't have any in stock (back before Christmas). I figured temporarily out. Nope, a month+ later and none of my local Sam's club are stocking any of the whole bean coffee bags except for Pablo's Pride, which is OK, but not my favorite.
    Tom, are you seeing the same thing in your area? Has the Member's Mark Colombian Supremo disappeared for you as well? I can order it for $8 shipping, but that ends up taking the price advantage away.

    I've been going to DD for several years now; $19.99 for 3lbs whole bean or ground. The ground comes in french vanilla, hazelnut and regular so I get one of each or sometimes I'll grind my own whole bean.
    It's plenty good enough for me; maybe not though for the coffee connoisseur.

    It seems as though that $20/3lb deal at DD varies from store to store. I think you might be in a lucky location because some on FB are saying they paid $40 for that size bag. I'll have to swing by my local store sometime to see what they have. The websites don't show prices or DD store availability.

    Well I've gotten the same deal in both Ct. and NH. I picked up another 3lbs a couple weeks ago here in Ct. and the price is still $19.99 at 2 different DD locally.

    I honestly don't know. The last time I was in there was probably the first week in December. The price had not changed that much, if at all, so I bought 3 or 4 bags. Then I got another bag as a Christmas present. I am currently down to my last bag, so I will be going back soon enough.

    If memory serves, all of the normal selections were there, but one. I don't even remember what kind it was because I bought it once and threw half the bag away. It wasn't very good.

    I checked online and the local Sam's Club has the Eight O'clock coffee (my normal go-to) for $16.98 and it is in stock. Looks like they no longer stock the MM Columbian. They also no longer stock Pablos Pride. Both of those, they used to always stock.

    Been buying my coffee from a local company for the last year or so:

    Always fresh and noticeable jump in flavor and quality, I also just like to support a local business.

    Always brings a smile when I stop in and see yet again, they are significantly busier than the Starbucks across the street.

    We always buy their espresso (for the espresso machine) and usually rotate through whatever is fresh or specialty roast they have at the moment for our regular coffee machine.

    My poison. I mix these two together before grinding. Add honey in the carafe before brewing. Give it a good swish when done, pour and enjoy!!
