My coffee price went up :(

My coffee price went up :(

Monday mornings are rough. One consistent thing for me has been my daily cuppa’ joe at Caribou Coffee. I could count on it like clockwork – exactly $1.86 with tax. Today I went in and it was $1.97. They raised their prices this morning. Crap.

    edcentric That is because you are paying in US dollars for an imported item. Do you want an econ lesson? No, not on Monday morning. I am not that cruel.
    Just think how much prices should be going down in Canada with the loony so strong.
    I remember the last time that they were at par back in '76.

    Unfortunately, most of the retail sector is pretty lagged. If I go to a book store, I'll see two prices on the cover. It'll be something like 23.99US/29.99CAD. Ebay has become more interesting for me though! I recall buying things back in ~2002 with the loony at about 65 cents. That was pretty painful at checkout.
