    Nescafe jars of 200g are only £2.19 in home bargains, much cheaper than the main supermarkets

    Ground coffee - try approved foods, Douwe Egberts coffee, 12 packets for £5.99 I think. I freeze mine to keep it fresh but at that price its cheaper than instant!

    Nescafe Gold Blend is nice - 2 200g jars for £7 in Tesco, I think.

    If its instant you are looking for I can recommend Kenco Rappor BOGOF in Co-op.

    I really love this and stock up whenever its on offer

    Do you freeze the beans whole or grind them first? I've seen some nice coffee in Costco but its in a big bag and would go off while I drank it as I don't always have time to brew coffee and I love instant too.

    My favorite instant coffee is Kenco Smooth. I never pay full price for it as I either get a big jar in Costco (when it on offer) at £9.99 for 750gr. I haven't got it for a while so not sure where its on offer, sorry

    Ground coffee - I like Sainsbury's own brand Taste the Difference, which is more expensive than basic own brand but cheaper than branded.

    For instant coffee I wait until Kenco is on special offer then buy loads.

    The offer at AF is ground coffee so I freeze mine ground. I have a coffee tin that I have had for years so I decant a smaller quantity into that and then the rest goes into the freezer, it means I can buy in bulk and not worry about it going off :D

    If you drink that stuff you haven't got any taste buds :D

    My coffee is important to me, I go for the Nescafe Gold Blend. Picked up a 300g jar from Morrisons for 5.39. But that will last a couple of weeks.

    Balance that against one cup of costa coffee (2.40) or even worse the swill which McDonalds sell. (you can drink it but you subsequently wish you hadn't)
