Good kcups? Where to buy?

Running low on my Green Mountain kcups and I was wondering if you all have any recommendations? I like flavored coffee... Don't want to spend a lot, but I'm pretty picky (didn't like the Archer Farm stuff at all).

Also, any tip to buy them cheap? I got a bunch at Kohls before Christmas but now it's much more expensive. I don't mind buying a bag and making my own kcups to make money, I just like variety so it's not that handy, but I'd totally do it for some really good coffee (we have the refillable kcups and they seem to work ok with my husband's coffee).

    I buy mine at Kroger (limited supply, but they put the green mountain on sale for $5.99. I like the breakfast blend and the carmelle vanila cream. I also get other flavors from Walmart (as much as I hate that store). They have a pretty good selection and different brands. Most are 18 cups for $9.97. I also will order some from the Keurig company. You can get assorted flavors in box's or all one flavor. 22 cups or you can get 5 cup sample packs with 5 different flavors. Not sure what you want to pay for the Kcups, but that is what I get.

    Shaws has most of their K Cups on sale - 4.99-5.99$ for 12. idk if they have Shaws in NJ.

    Christmas Tree Shop as well. Most of them at 18 count boxes for 7.99$

    Variety packs off of Amazon.

    I hate k-cups but my office has one. and our admin isnt always the best at placing an order on time so I've started buying my own and leaving them in my desk for when we run low on my fave flavors

    My husband drinks decaf and I drink regular, so that's why we ended up with a Keurig, lol. He says he's actually saving money because it uses less coffee with the Keurig.

    No Costco, Shaws, or Kroger here :( I'll try and save the next BB&B coupon though!

    Sales tend to be in 6-/8-week cycles. I know Shoprite is in NJ and I've gotten some good deals on coffee there when I lived in CT

    Aldi or Walmart for flavors, Amazon for San Francisco Bay Coffee Company. I buy their FogChaser for my morning coffee: $26 for 80 cups and free shipping because I have Prime.

    I ended up getting a refillable pod for my Keurig.

    That was really awesome for me. But I tend to stick to the same thing... but I ended up giving away my Keurig after about 18 months anyways. I have really hard water and it kept clogging up. I love my Aeropress.

    I get mine at bed bath and beyond with their coupon. They also have an unusual selection, which I like! This weekend I tried a white chocolate mint coffee.....it's delicious!

    If you have a Winn Dixie and a WD card, they do a K-Cup Bonanza every couple of months. If you buy 4, they are 4.99 a box. I always have a couple of coupons to go with it also.

    My favorites: Donut Shop Chocolate Glazed Donuts, Green Mountain Golden French Toast, Green Mountain Blueberry, Gloria Jeans Macadamia Nut and Gloria Jeans Mudslide.

    If you go on Ebay, Coffee Hub has a lot of variety packs. My favorite is their candy bar one - has Mounds, Snickers, Milky Way and Butterfinger. :)

    I have that refillable cup, I just like variety and don't really like having 3 or 4 bags of coffee open... But I guess I could do it.

    True, but I don't like spending $14 on a pound of coffee without trying it first either. I wonder if I can get samples somewhere.

    The local brand that my grocery sells (the kind where you can buy the beans and grind in the store or at home) usually has samples of pre-ground. Also, they are sold by the pound so you can buy a small amount at a time.

    Target, Bed bath and beyond, and even Best Buy has K-Cups over by the appliances.

    Have you checked Amazon for the kinds you like? I used to get mine at Costco, but now I just have a standing order with Amazon. It automatically ships every 6 weeks and there is a discount because of the standing order. Now I never run out. I get the San Francisco Bay variety because it's inexpensive and it's really good. I think it's better than the Starbuck's Caribou or Newman's varieties I used to get at Costco. You can also order the flavored variety boxes.

    This, ftw. Wait for them to go on sale (typically a 48-count goes on sale around $38 per box) and use your 20% off coupon. That's a better price than BJ's or Costco

    Ok I try not to spend more than 50c per kcup if I can help it, lol.

    I don't know what I'd like sadly, I only really started drinking coffee again recently. I guess I could pick some up when it's on sale at the store and see though.
