For those of us that can still see the forest even with all the trees, the OP's point was that the price of that coffee has increased significantly recently -- and on that, he is exactly correct.

I'm glad that this discussion between the two of us clarifies it for everyone: Walmart -- one of the lowest-priced retailers out there -- has increased this coffee's price by ~37% in just the few short months that Trump has been in office.

You are quoting the price of a smaller version than what is shown in the OP. W_HAMILTON Jul 30 #17
