Amazon sends me a carton of K-cups on a regular basis. I originally subscribed when the price was about $23 / 100-count, or 23 cents a cup.
Prior to shipping each order, Amazon notifies me of the upcoming delivery and offers me an opportunity to change the order: cancel it altogether; change the delivery date; change the amount; etc.
Today this note from Amazon.
$28.49 - $23.45 = a 21.5% increase in price over two months.
That still works out to a bit less than what I would pay at Starbucks
Meanwhile, at "my" Starbucks down the street which I haven't visited since March, 2020. At that time I was going to Starbucks daily and sometimes twice / day:
Through Amazon:
- 28 cents / cup
- if push comes to shove, I can get a second cup from a K-cup
Through Starbucks:
- $2.35 / cup
