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.

Coffee prices have gone crazy lately, I feel for coffee shops as they will lose big time here and a lot are small time business owners.
I don't buy beans myself at home but I did see Kicking Horse on sale for $16 for a 400 gram bag I believe at London Drugs which seems reasonable. I believe I saw a can of Folgers going for $19 ! Better to support local Canadian businesses than Amazon I guess.
