Best Priced K Cups?

My husband got me a Keurig for Christmas...God bless him :). I'm only a coffee drinker when they are latte's and all...not normally at home. I'll need to get a milk frother too to drink it more often at home, which is fine.

But I am a huge hot tea drinker! And my kids love hot chocolate.

So where do you find the BEST price on K cups?

What can I do next?

We bought some off of Amazon for my husbands boss and they were the best price. Check there and if you get the free super saver shipping there is no shipping cost either.

Bed Bath and Beyond.
And it does iced tea as well as hot tea, you just brew it over ice.
BBB has the best selection as well as the 20% off coupons .
Also check the Keurig site , they sell sample packs of some of their coffees on the site.
You can get cappuccino k cups as well I have seen them at BBB and Walmart.
Oh they also make Apple Cider K Cups and they are really good.

We buy ours at Costo or Sam's club. They end up costing around .38 a cup. I also used to need more than just creamer for my coffee but hey make so many great creamers now that you might suprise yourself!

I got one too so this is a good question! I heard that Bed Bath and Beyond is the best because you can use the 20% off coupons to help bring down the cost. And just FYI you can use those coupons even if they are expired and you can also use one for every item you purchase, I've done that many times. My husband got me a variety pack, but uh, not so much ones I've been craving, so I want to pick out some teas and hot chocolate too! I was also going to check at Costco and hadn't thought of Amazon, so good suggestions so far!

Kohls - esp. if you have a Kohl's card - you can research online for 15 - 30% off codes + free shipping codes (you can use 2 codes on Kohls.com). I always stock up on things like shoes in the next size up for my boys, K cups and Oral B toothbrush heads when I have a 30% off code, free shipping and the items are on sale. All of those generally coincide 2-3 times a year. Check out www.wantnot.net for promo code info. Great savings!

We buy a ton of ours from Amazon, it's actually where we get most of ours. Bed Bath & Beyond sells them and seems to have 20% off coupons in the mail all the time which makes them priced pretty good. Target is beginning to sell a large selection and their prices are OK and they go on sale which makes them a really nice price. Costco has a good price but doesn't have much selection. You can buy a reusable kcup to use any coffee or loose tea that you want. You can also put a tea bag in your cup and just run the hot water through the Keurig.
Ours gets turned on in the morning and doesn't get turned off until we go to bed! THe kids use it for hot water for oatmeal in the morning, my husband drinks tea all day, he likes to put some ice in his cupa nd runs the tea over them.
It is one of the most used things in our house!

I don't have one of these machines but am seriously considering it. But I understand you can buy a reusable K-cup so you can put your own coffee in it. That's the only way I'd do it becuase I'm very particular about my coffee - I use only Mellitta columbian. I'd do that if cost is the big issue. That way you're also not adding all those little plastic containers to the waste stream - it's a better choice for the environment.

Has anyone used the re-usable K-cups?

The best price is to get the reusable cups (which there are several brands and the best review & cost I found is Eco Cup) that way you can use your normal favorite brand. For hot chocolate, you just empty the package into the maker (no cup) or even better...just put the cocoa in the cup and run the water throught the maker.

this may have already been answered for you, so apologies if it's duplicate. i find the best prices at keurig.com. go online & register your machine. you'll get 2 boxes free, when you purchase 2. prices there are about $13-$15 for a box of 24 kcups. if you spend $45, you get free shipping. i just order 3-4 boxes at a time & it lasts several months for us. i really enjoy the hot tea kcups - many of your regular favorites are likely available. be careful with the hot cocoa...the cups are pretty pricey in comparison to using packets & a tea kettle or making your own in bulk. they are a little tricky - they clog fairly easily. prices at costco/sam's club/BJ's are comparable to keurig, but you generally have to buy a box of 80 of all the same thing. we like to have several different kinds, especially since my hubby likes a darker roast than i do. plus, with keurig, you will get email specials and you get points for your purchases, and once you hit 500 points (1 point per dollar i think), you get a bigger discount on boxes. you can use accumulated points to buy items at a discount or get them free. good luck! i got a keurig last year and i LOVE LOVE LOVE it! :)

for those wondering about the reusable kcup, i got it with my machine - we bought it at costco, so it was a bundle package, but it costs about $20 for the keurig branded one - called my k-cup - at bed bath & beyond or other retailers. i used it a lot when i first got my machine b/c i had a lot of whole bean coffee left. it works great. my husband is too lazy & doesn't use it. :) is definitely the most economical way to use the machine, but i'm kind of partial to convenience, and we use kcups the majority of the time. you could totally use loose tea leaves or hot cocoa mix in it rather than paying a ridiculous amount for kcup tea & cocoa.

walmart has them for 10 something. they have a nice selection but don't remember seeing any lattes. they did have hot chocolate and dark chocolate and green tea i beleive. you can probably order site to store for free if you see other flavors online that they don't have in store.

When I bought the K-Cups, I bought them through Amazon.com, and did their Subscribe & Save option, which saved me even more money AND I didn't have to leave my house. Much better selection on there, anyway.

Now I use the permanent filter, which is the most economical way to use the Keurig.

I buy mine from Keurig.com. They have an excellent selection of coffees, teas, iced beverages, and hot chocolate. They also offer the lowest minimum order amount to qualify for free shipping, which is $45, compared to other online companies that require a minimum order of $60 or $75. Sign up for an account and you will get 10% off of your coffee. They may be a little more expensive per cup - the average box of 24 k-cups is $13.84 which equals about 57 cents per cup - but the selection is better than you can find in any store, and you get 24 k-cups per box versus 16 or 18 in some store-bought boxes. Plus, they ship right to your house. You can also earn 'points' toward a variety of products. It's going to take me a while, but I'm trying to earn enough points to buy a new platinum Keurig at half price :)
Another online company that is good is Big Cat Coffee. For a little bit more of a cost, you can design your own 24 count k-cup box with a variety of flavors. But the minimum order for free shipping is $75 which is hefty.
If you don't want to order online, Target has a good selection, and decent prices. With any store, just be careful with the low price, because you may get a low count in the box.
