Good morning folks,

I'm hoping some of you can help me find good sources for discounted K Cups for my Keurig.
I'm more of a tea drinker, hubby loves coffee, and my son likes coffee and hot chocolate.

Do you know of any sites/stores that run good deals for all of the above on a regular basis?

Thanks!

Kohls is a good source if you're a cardholder. They send out percent off coupons very frequently. You can save up to 30%--and you can reuse the coupon until it expires.

Sams Club has very large packages on one variety--a good deal if you like that particular variety.

I love bigcatcoffees.com for Kcups. Great selection, good pricing and fast delivery.

For coffee I bought the reusable Kcup. Not the one made by Keurig (that one was awful), but the Ekobrew. That way I can use my favourite coffees, and it's way less expensive. We don't buy much tea but Amazon seems to be a good source.

Fantastic!! Thank you all.
Meta, the Keurig we have came with its own reusable filter, but I'll look into the Ekobrew.

I'm a kcup lover. Big time! I usually get my kcups at Kohl's but decided to venture off to bigcatcoffees. Awesome selection! Kohl's has decent prices but it's a crap shoot for me as to whether the flavors I like will be there.

I'm sold on bigcatcoffees. Just placed my order!

I was drooling over the selection at BigCat as well. I think that between my husband, son, and I, we'll keep them in business for a while!

I have another recommendation for the reusable cups - the "Perfect Pod EZ Cup".

I have both the Kuerig reusable filter and one other one (I don't remember the brand) and I really did not like them. The main reason - rinsing out the filter. The grounds stick to the filters and are next to impossible to just wipe/shake out. I don't like rinsing the grounds down the sink (and at work that's a problem - we don't have any kitchen/break area, so water fountains and the bathroom are the only choices, and grounds will back up those drains.)

The EZ Cup uses paper filters. So there is a little more cost over time (though I got a whole lot of the filters really cheap on Amazon a year or two ago). But I find it works great, and no real mess. And since the filters are essentially just paper, much more eco-friendly than the plastic disposable cups.

I find using my own coffee in the cups like that is usually much better than the pre-packed cups you can buy (though I use those too). And since my favorite is fresh ground 100% Kona, that's the only way I can have that!

I have mine auto delivered from amazon with a 20% discount.

I'll have to tell my son about bigcatcoffees. He's the Keurig user

GabyBaby posted 7/23/2014 13:35 PM

Awesome! Thanks!

I would suggest following a blog called Hip 2 Save -- she's a huge k-cup fan and user so she's always on the lookout for great k-cup deals.

Also amazon has the San Francisco Bay line of k-cups that are made a little differently, with less plastic (but they work in any Keurig machine). They are usually already a great price plus if you use the Subscribe and Save feature, you can get them even cheaper. Many blends to choose from. I love the Fog Chaser

Thank you!
I'll definitely check it out!

We use shoffee.com. We buy a lot all at once for a better deal. Although my kids have never found a kkup hot chocolate they like. We just use it for hot water and buy the regular packets at the store.

Here's another tip. You can re-use the coffee-filled KKups. They don't have to be single use. My FWH and I get two cups of coffee from each one and then we toss it. We buy ours at Costco.

We use the Folgers brand of K-Cups (Do3K likes it better than Starbucks). Me and the kids usually use the cup, after he has used it once, b/c it's still strong enough. Kroger usually has decent sales, if you're in a pinch and are waiting on what you've ordered to come in.

Thanks Mo3K!
