WTF is up with the prices of COFFEE? ..
 

They are getting expensive as fuck..


carry on ..:321GFY

so fucking true, bought a bag on starbucks, crazy shit :mad:

Perhaps Goldman Sachs are telling people to invest in it

A while back they had a story on the news that the coffee crop for the year took a major hit. They said it is also going to go higher so you had better by now. I bought a can of coffee at Wal-Mart for $15 that used to cost me $8.

Yeah I remember something about hearing coffee prices would go up soon....guess they have.

bad crop and oil companies i.e. shipping costs...

I live in a coffee growing country and even here the prices have gone up a lot in the past year.

switch to tea

Where the fuck is Jaun Valdez when we need him?

Yeah I bought some Coffee at Trader Joe's the other day and it was high as hell.

you know things are bad when people start complaining about coffee prices of all things.... :2 cents:

Just rose a few cents the other month..

I was wondering how global this was because I bought coffee Wednesday and it was like $30 for ages and it was $40 this week.

Same reason as food prices. Investors are pouring money into commodities because when currency values are down, you invest in tangible items.

Companies and now even countries are hoarding coffee in huge warehouses to drive the price even higher.

It's the same that was going on with oil. Investors poured money into oil, then instead of taking delivery, they simply sold it to be stored since the price was going to go up anyway.

Basically, the super wealthy are treating everyday commodities like a stock they want to manipulate. The only difference is when they start doing it with food, they are impacting billions of people just so they can make a few extra bucks.

I noticed my coffee went up $1 per pound.

people that buy starbucks are hurting like a mofo

all food prices have been going up, they have been reducing the size of packaging to keep the prices down

you are actually buying a hot water with lots of sugar!

i think the zetas kidnapped his ass :helpme

their "mother parkers' coffee is crap.

He got smart. He's in Colombia and those bags aren't filled with coffee;)

In reality the coffee colombia exports is awful in comparison to their local stuff. you know like folgers when it says "100 percent pure colombian coffee" the shit is rank and gives me the jitters.

This is a big part of it. I was reading an article a few weeks ago that said the two best investments as far as ROI in the last two years were Corn and Silver. The price of corn and silver have doubled in the last year and a half.

i thought prices at starbucks went up :mad:

most of the the western world is completely addicted to caffeine

its a drug and they, the dealers, have everyone over a barrels

On a side note anyone who is heavily invested in coffee in the stock market is about to make another killing.

Lol at people who "have to have coffee", wake the fuck up and realize it's all mental. Drink a glass of OJ and shut the fuck up.

This is not crude oil where they raise the price while their cost of drilling remains the same. I would expect many coffee related stocks to take a hit.

Coffee has become the single most expensive item on my grocery bill now. Can't live without it though

they want to make more money, and more, and more

I don't drink coffee, so I don't give a flying fuck about that :pimp

I blame Juan Valdez

yeeah, same here :pimp

Ever since seeing my grade 7 school councillors mouth, I swore I'd never drink coffee, or smoke cigarettes. Worked like a charm.

Then when I was a teenager I worked at a computer store, and my manager kept a half full cup of coffee on his desk that he used as his weekly ashtray... naaasty.

Come to think of it, now that I hardly ever drink soda, I guess I'm caffeine free for the most part.

Imagine how much money I've saved by not smoking cigarettes, drinking coffee or soda.. It's surely immense.

so you're addicted to sugar instead?

lots of calories in juice...

All commodities are going up. Well, actually the purchasing power of the dollar is going down, due to the Fed's quantitative easing program. More dollars chasing fewer goods means prices go up.

This is exactly what i happening though no one seems to be reporting that we are in a hyper inflationary stage that has been caused by the Reserve. We're just seeing the beginning of this. The worst is yet to come!

That's what happens when you print alot of money.

Drink tea bitches, moderate caffeine boost which is actually healthy. Not that tea bag shit that's popular in the US either - get yourself some real white, green or black Tea leaves.
