It's those cans. He likes those cans!

[Janice]

This just cracks me up. My husband and I hit the polls today, then the grocery store. We've got Stop & Shop around here as a major food chain.

We drink Maxwell House coffee, French Roast. This week it's on sale for 99 cents. It's usually $3.19 a can. There's a limit of four per customer. I saw it in their flyer the other day.

We went into the store and each grabbed a basket, and put four in each with a few other items. He got all CIA on me and insisted that we go to different registers. Ooookay.

We get to the car, and he insisted that we go back in and do it again. Remember, there's a four item limit. So CIA man and I head in and do it again. Different registers of course. We got home, and I put my 16 cans of coffee away. Saved over $32. Love it.

Then, he said, I'm going back for more. He just headed out on his coffee mission. Mind you, we're not rich people, but money is not an issue for us.

Just thought I'd share. I wouldn't be surprised if he walks through the door with a wheelbarrel full of coffee. :lol:

[dlemond]

How many cups did have between trips?

Perhaps a switch to decaf might slow him down and free up some shelf space.

:)

[Brad]

And with that, no sleep was had at Janice's house until November... 2005.

[dlemond]

Oh, and when I read the title of the thread I didn't expect it to be about coffee.

Or any canned goods for that matter.

;)

Man, I've got to get my head out of the gutter.

Actually, it's a takeoff from a line in the movie, The Jerk, when Steve Martin is getting shot at in the gas station. He hides next to a soft drink vending machine. The bullets miss him and hit the soda cans, at which points he yells, "It's the cans. He hates those cans."

Everybody on these boards knows me and my coffee... so Janice! How would you like a daughter for a few months? I'm a good kid; I'll clean the house and take care of the cat in return for coffee.... ;)

[TJL]

Janice, Juan Valdez called, he wants his coffee back.

My lovable nutjob brought home eight more cans. So we've got a total of 24 cans. One a week, we're all set for six months.
The sale ends Saturday. I'm in trouble.

[PZelda]

Oh my, Janice! :lol:


Hey, I'll join you and be Karly's older sis. I looooove coffee too. ;)

For me, a can of coffee lasts us maybe 4 weeks. It helps that I keep the coffee in the freezer - it keeps the coffee fresh. :)

[Kay Scarpetta]

ONE WEEK?!

A can of coffee lasts 3 days in this house! Goodness gracious.

Same here!! Over the years, I've managed to get my coffee consumption way down. But I'd probably still do what Janice did and buy a bunch of cans since they were so cheap, and put them in my freezer!!

I resurected this thread because I noticed my 40 cans of coffee is now down to seven, which will bring it to almost a year that it lasted.

I need another coffee sale. :lol:

[Janice]

I've read through this a couple of times. :D

Didn't you all also stock up on Progresso soup once? Only 10 or 12 cans of those though? :p
Yeah, but we ended up with probably 25 cans. I also got about 30 cans of Pastene Kitchen Ready tomotoes for when I make my sauce and meatballs. My husband is Italian, so I have to cook that all that time.
