When is the last time you bought 50 cent coffee? (Score 1)

If its true that people always go for the cheap, how did a 50 cent cup of coffee become a $3-6 DAILY purchase? Or water which last time I checked flowed freely from all faucets is purchased in bottles for a buck and in the case of Fuji double that...water pretty much tastes the same, mmmmmm.... Are the musicians missing something? Have you been to a RECORD store lately? People are plopping down some serious bucks for stuff we couldn't give away a few years ago. Just thinkin' it's easy to bitch. It's harder to actually do something about it. I've been a full time Musial for almost 40 years, trends come and go but cream still rises.
