I don't drink a whole lot of coffee, one cup brewed at home in the morning. I buy the whole beans and grind 'em myself.

My favourite brand is Kicking Horse, but now the price at the supermarket is almost $26 a pouch! Traditionally when Kicking Horse is on sale, it's deeply discounted, which is the only time I purchase (in multiples). Even so, now the discounted price is creeping past my threshold ($16 or so).

I've started buying other brands on sale (many locally roasted options available) as a result.

I'd hate to delve into the big commercial brands, but I might have to if prices keep rising.
