Keurig taunted me all day ...

February 5th, 2013 at 11:18 pm

Kohl's has the spend $50 get $10 off a future purchase sale going on. I went there first to replace the coffeemaker that died yesterday. I was conflicted; why? I do not know. I want one of those new machines... I asked for Christmas, but didn't get one. I've used one only once in the oral surgeon's office while DD was having her teeth pulled.

I then went to Walmart. I was unimpressed with their basic offerings, black and dull. I didn't buy. I tried to justify spending the $100 (but it would have yielded me $20 for another purchase) on the dinky little colorful Keurig that is usually $129. I came close to biting the bullet, even going so far as to select a color I liked and put it in the wheely-rolly thing.

But, alas, common sense prevailed. I ended up with a 12-cup Mr. Coffee upgrade from what I previously owned and died. It was $35 down from $50. I actually bought socks for the boys and Green Bay Packer Mug on clearance as a gift for FIL. Total spent was $54 and have $10 for a future purchase.

I won.

    You did! My sister-in-law got one for a gift, and she was really unhappy with it. She said no matter what, the coffee tasted metallic and off. She ended up giving it away. Maybe that will help your triumph taste even sweeter?

    My neighbour just bought a Keurig Machine from a seller on CraigsList for about 1/2 price. These machines are practical for people like my neighbor who only drinks one cup of coffee a day. The CraigsList seller explained he was selling the machine because it was too expensive for someone who drinks more than 6 cups of coffee each day. I think I read that Keurig Brand was the only one that has the option of using a favorite brand of coffee.

    Would you consider buying a slightly used machine that was a Christmas gift that missed it's mark?
