Holy crap, I shoulda bought more coffee last year.

 Did you guys know coffee has increased in price (7%????) or so? One place I saw a meme that said it had gone up 27%, and that the feds had taken the price of coffee out of inflation calculations. Blogger won't let me post the meme. Don't know if the meme is correct.
