Buying Ground Coffee in Bulk

fender

I have noticed the price of coffee sky-rocket lately. I drink ground coffee, not instant.

Does anyone know where I can buy ground coffee in bulk to try and get it a little cheaper. The £1 shops seem to have stopped selling it.

Thanks.

B&M Bargains / Home Bargains usually have some cheap and decent makes. Not sure of exact price though.

Hi there, sorry to go slightly OT, but do you mean that the Kirland coffee is supplied by Starbucks?

If it, that intereting and worth a punt maybe?

Bought some from Home Bargains in Doncaster on Saturday, 99p for 250g of Douwe Egberts kenyan ground, and Netto had two different types of Douwe for £1.29 each

The best way to buy coffee in bulk is as beans, keep them in the freezer and then grind as you need them. They'll keep fresh that way for up to a year.
You may be able to buy them wholesale from a coffee roaster. I get mine from a local company which supplies my favourite restaurant - that's how I got the contact - and they do 1kg/2kg bags of beans, a number of blends and roasts. You can get a small electric grinder..

Or Lidl sometimes have speciality ground coffees - they had Ethiopian Sidamo (I think) a while back for £2.49, according to the coffee people I buy from that's a very expensive bean, and it was well worth the money. The Lidl Bellarom is pretty good as well. worth looking out for it being on offer.
