The Wellesley Farms decaf went up I think but the one that really went up was the Costco decaf. It went up by like four or five dollars before the tariffs though.

I drink Folgers instant from BJs and I bought a lot of it on sale. I think the price went up maybe one to two dollars.

I just sent some of that Brand 8 o’clock to my friend in California, but I didn’t hear back if he likes it or not. I usually buy him the specialty ones made in California for his birthday. I have never tried 8 o’clock. But he prefers the beans. We do not have a grinder so I think I’m gonna try and get one and get some pure Colombian and just see if I like it or not.

Actually, I think I’m going be switching back to green tea because the coffee is making me too wired, etc. I used to be able to wake up and function with only one cup of green tea. And now I need 2 cups of coffee and sometimes I drink the green tea before I go to sleep because it relaxes me lol.
