Decent coffee? AT TARGET? Cheap. $6.79/12 oz bag. Ground or whole bean. Italian, French, Columbian and Guatemalan blends. Surprisingly smooth, not the freshest beans in the bag, but buzzworthy. Worth a look. Target sometimes has small bags of coffee for $1 and online $1 off coupons. Doesn’t get much cheaper than FREE.
