Couldn't talk the wife out of a Keurig so I found the 545 model on sale at Costco. It came with the stainless reusable cup so I can use the Folgers coffee I'm used to.


The last time I was at Costco, they had Folgers in K cups.


They have them up here but usual price is just over 50 cents a cup vs Folgers 920 gram tubs which supposedly give you 200 cups at $ 6.99 on sale at Wal*Mart. A tiny fraction of the cost if you don't mind cleaning that little reusable pod.


"You have Wal-Mart up there now? Â*That's progress. Who cares about

We've probably had a Wall Mart before you did. One is within walking distance of my house and the next closest is about a 10 minute drive away.
Numerous others within the metropolitan area.

....and D'uh..as far as the Keurig, that's why I resisted the wife for as long as I could. Everytime we visited my sisters, she'd be going on about the virtues of their machines.
