[Shoppers Drug Mart] Kicking Horse "Kick Ass" Organic Free Trade Whole Bean Coffee 1lb $2.99 YMMV

wandered into the SDM at High Gate in Burnaby, out of coffee beans. expecting the typically woeful and somewhat over-priced selection at SDM, came across 1lb bags of Kicking Horse's "Kick Ass" Roast.

regular price: $17.99
on sale for $12.99
plus TWO red store coupons for $5 off

didn't know if this was $5 off the $17.99, or maybe the second sticker was a mistake and it would clock in at $12.99. took one to the cashier, who confirmed it would be $2.99, using both stickers. expiry date on the bag is FEB 14 16, but i'll burn through this in about two weeks, which is about right for this quantity.

Expiry date for coffee beans really doesn't mean much besides how old it is. A month or two before or after the date will taste the same.

I am wondering the same thing! Anything cheaper than 12.99 for this coffee is pretty good, so would like to know how I can obtain this coupon...thanks!

it's a manager coupon in store they apply to near expiry items so it's very much YMMV. I never seen two on one product before, even one at $5 seems unusually high unless it's already past due.

It's just a reduced sticker they put on all clearance items. Good score!

I think it's an error that there was two. Even at my Superstore with yogurt expiring tomorrow it's only 30% off.

Yeah it's just product at the end of its shelf life reduced to clear. I just burned through 6 bags of president's choice Sumatran and Columbia coffee from our local SDM for $1.50 a bag. Very hard to come by.

intrigued...so....where the HELL do you store 20lbs of coffee? lol??? Dedicated bar fridge/freezer? That's nuts. Shipped 20lbs comes out to that much? I'm intrigued. Only problem is I'd like to try different varieties they have before committing to that much of ONE type. Can you mixnmatch? What's the price diff if you're ordering minimal qty's?

Do they only sell fair trade?

I believe superstore usually has the coffee for $15 on sale for 12.99. "Loblaws" also owns Shoppers.

Superstore sadly no longer gives discounts higher than 30%.

I've gotten, and seen things with two stickers from Shoppers before, but it's rare, and I think it depends on how much the store wants to get rid of something, as it's dependent on the store/manager.

Green coffee beans can EASILY sit for a year at room temperature (always avoid exposure to sun) but in reality much much longer without losing any "freshness" as the internal chemical reactions are started during roasting. Apparently coffee loses most of its freshness within 10 days from the time of roasting meaning that store bought coffee is never fresh regardless of packaging/storage.

And speaking of roasting at home if you are interested in roasting your own coffee beans and don't want to dish out $420+ on the suggested roaster you can get a very inexpensive hot air popcorn maker for approx. $20-$25. It's really easy and fast.
