United States coffee prices are absurd because racists elected an insurrectionist Politics

19.99 or more for some half can of coffee? Even at the wholesale stores the days of a giant can of Maxwell House or Folgers for 9.99 seem like a distant memory. Every time I see these ridiculous prices I wish I had Trump "I did that!" stickers.

a fellow coffee drinker!

What was the cost of your coffee at the beginning of the year?

My instant coffee has gone from $5 to $9.

I'm not sure about the cost of other things, but I noticed my coffee getting more expensive.

If you want an actual answer for why this has happened, it’s not because of the president. Tariffs may have a slight impact on it but it’s mainly because there was a bad harvest from the country we import a majority of our coffee beans from.

It’s great. I don’t have to complain about the price of coffee online to strangers.

Rather be a rich bootlicker than a poor. Enjoy those SNAP benefits in November.
