In May 2010, when we introduced the Savvy Shopper Discount®, we knew we had found something special; a chance for customers to buy their favorite coffee or tea K-Cup® packs in bulk to get the lowest pricing available.  As we expected, our customers loved the new program, but many had the same comment.

“I love the Savvy Shopper Discount, but wish I didn’t have to buy so much at once to get the low pricing.”

Well America, we have heard your cries.  Starting today, November 30, 2011 – the Savvy Shopper Discount® will be coming to an end.  But this is not a sad day, because our pricing per box has been adjusted to give you terrific every day savings!

From $15.98 per box, down to $13.32 (the same amount you had been paying after bulk buying before), and no special codes to enter or minimums to purchase, no special rules or regulations to remember, or math to decipher in your head.  Just plain, simple, great pricing for every box of K-Cup® packs you want to purchase.

And our Free Shipping offer is pretty terrific too – an order of 4 or more boxes will ship for free, via UPS Ground.  Smaller orders, and those shipped outside of the domestic US, pay only our discounted shipping rate.

Poll: 65% in U.S. drink coffee daily

13 cups is the weekly average

A poll released by 7-Eleven Inc. in conjunction with National Coffee Day (Sept. 29) says that 65 percent of Americans drink coffee every day, many within an hour of waking up.

The coffee-drinkers in the survey said they consume an average of 13 cups a week, and 60 percent agreed with the statement, “I need a cup of coffee to start my day.”

In other results:

• 28 percent of the coffee drinkers had their first cup within 15 minutes of awakening, and 68 percent within the hour.
• 57 percent added sugar or another sweetener to their brew.
• 54 percent agreed with the statement, “Coffee makes me feel more like myself.”

Another National Coffee Day poll, this one from Dunkin’ Donuts, identified which professions self-identified as most likely to need morning coffee to be productive. The top three were: scientist/lab technician, marketing/public relations professional and education administrator.
