For the price of an 18 pack of Keurig you can get a lot of good ground
coffee.

Three cups a day in our house would be $45 a month with Keurig. My wife
buys a bag of coffee at BJ's for $15.99 and gets a couple of months from it.
Let's see, $90 versus $16. I'm thinking, just as you suggested.
90 - 16= 74 x6 = 444 per year more for the Keurig + the cost of machine =
$600 additional outlay the first year. . I'm thinking, I'm thinking.
