Coffee

Coffee prices are not nearly as cheap as they were in the past years. Global Exchange says prices used to be as low as 60 cents per pound.  Prices today in popular stores like Starbucks are $6.28 a pound for an eight o'clock coffee. Duncan Donuts is surprisingly even more expensive than Starbucks. One bag of coffee beans is eight dollars and for four bags twenty dollars. At least some places are still keeping the prices cheap. McDonald's coffee goes for only $1.40. Even though a lot of places are raising their prices McDonald's is keeping cheap good quality coffee.
