We usually buy our pods at Costco. Occasionally Target will put them on
super sale (but one, get one half off) which can make Target the better
deal. I bought one of those refillable ones that you can use your own
coffee in, but I returned it (reason escapes me now). DH loves the thing,
but Im indifferent. Im more of a tea gal, and I dont care for most of
the tea pods on the market. If you dont drink a big pot of coffee each
day, its great because there are no leftovers to go to waste. Its also
nice to be able to offer guests a variety of flavors and coffee types. On
the down side, ours can be finicky sometimes and doesnt always register
weve put the water in, so it doesnt switch to the €œput the pod in and
click brew€� guided stages. And buying pods in bulk to get them cheaper can
take up a lot of valuable pantry space.
