The
other day I got lucky. About a week or
so ago I went into Fred Meyer for the sole purpose of taking advantage of one
of their loss leader sales. For two days
they were running their Kroger brand K cups for $2.99 a 12 pack, limit of five. I bought five and was pretty darn happy about
that. Now that I have a coffeemaker for
K cups, my little luxury item I bought for myself at Christmas time, I am always watching for good buys on the
cups. Most of what I've acquired so far
has been found in the markdown bins
$2.99 each! |
After
picking up my five boxes of K cups I headed over to the markdown bin at the
back of the store and found this mangled box of 48 Simple Truth K cups sitting
there with a $9.99 tag on it.
Score! But even better than that
was I had a $2 OFF digital coupon loaded to my store rewards card. Super score!!!
When
I got home and opened it I found that only one of the K cups was actually
broken, the rest were fine. And the
broken one was still very much salvageable.
I just ended up dumping it into the little reusable basket that came
with my coffeemaker.
Most
people on Keto will tell you that one of their favorite things is their coffee
and I am no exception. I love my
coffee. Once or twice a day I make
myself a nice "fat" coffee with cream, a bit of vanilla and some MCT
oil. It is sooooo good and it really
makes my day. Having the K cup
coffeemaker has really been nice. I can
make myself a fresh hot cup of coffee anytime and I love it.
This little coffeemaker makes me so happy! |
I
do realize that the K cups aren't the most environmentally friendly and they
are a bit costly when compared to brewing a pot of coffee the old fashioned
way, but sometimes a girl just needs a bit of extravagance. And this is what I've chosen as my extravagant
item.
I prefer my French press--I drink a full carafe every morning. But, we have a Keurig which I gave to my husband one Christmas. He loves it. I find great sales on K-cups at Grocery Outlet ($1.99/12) I also go to the markdown section in our Kroger family store as well to get good deals. Here's something I recently discovered--the Kroger brand K-cups are made by Green Mountain!
ReplyDeleteThat's good to know. I like Green Mountain and the Kroger cups too!
DeleteGreat find on the KCups. Coffee is critical doing keto.
ReplyDeleteAgreed. If I couldn't have my coffee life would be really hard. LOL
