the top five places to buy k cups

After professing my Keurig brewing system love, I thought I would share with you my “secrets” to finding great deals on k cups.  Like I mentioned in my last post, one of the biggest downfalls {for me} with the Keurig is the cost of the k cups themselves.  Therefore, I am always on the lookout for a good deal on some of my favorite flavors!

Here are my top five k cup retailers:

1.  Amazon

This is the first place I turn when I am out of k cups!  Amazon has the biggest variety and great pricing.  Plus, I am an Amazon “Super Saver”, so I get free shipping on all items eligible for super saver shipping {over the course of a year, the $79 fee to be a Super Saver definitely pays for itself given the amount of shopping I do on Amazon}.

Recently I was gifted some Folgers Vanilla Biscotti k cups…..they have instantly become my new favorite.  The best price, that I could find, of this flavor k cup on Amazon is $0.74 each.

2.  Ebay

Just like Amazon, Ebay gives you a wide variety of k cup choices and great pricing, but what makes it a little less likeable than Amazon is the fact that you have to bid, hope you win, and then wait for your k cups.  I am too impatient for that sometimes!

I was able to find the Folgers Vanilla Biscotti k cups for $0.72 each {including shipping and assuming you win one of the auctions at the opening price}

3.  Keurig.com

When  you sign up for Club Keurig {which is free to do}, you receive a 10-15% discount on k cups on Keurig.com.  You also get to choose a free sample with every six boxes that you purchase.  There is free shipping on orders of $45 or more and you earn points {that you can redeem for a discount on select items} with every purchase.

Assuming you order four boxes of 24 {to get free shipping}, and including the Club Keurig discount, you would pay about $0.62 per cup.

4.  Walgreens

Believe it or not, you can get some pretty good deals on k cups at Walgreens.  Once you use coupons, and factor in any balance rewards, you could pay as little as $0.45 per k cup!  The selection, however, is really limited {the Walgreens I shop at only carries two different Starbucks k cup varieties}.

5.  Fleet Farm

Yes, you read this one correctly.  Like Walgreens, the selection is really limited, but they clearance out k cups WELL before the expiration date, so if you keep your eyes peeled, you can score some really cheap k cups.

And that is what is happening at West Street Story!
