My Coffee Deal Broken Down

It's no secret to anyone who drinks coffee—prices have shot up recently. Even the bargain bin option—Walmart's Great Value—has been running nearly $14 for a 40.3 ounce can last I checked.
That's $5.56 per pound.
Being the frugal caffeine addict I am, I've been hunting for deals. Because, let's be honest. I need my coffee!
About a month ago I scored a steal at Ollie's. 9.8 ounce bags of single pot packs for $1.99. That breaks down to just $3.25 per pound. Not bad. And some folks around here have mentioned Cheap Ass coffee on Amazon for around $5 per pound.
This deal beat that by a mile.
When I picked up this Maxwell House stash, I grabbed several packs. Each one's labeled for a single pot, but I only use 5 tablespoons for a brew, so I stretch it way beyond what the bag suggests.
Eventually though, I will burn through it. I've got about 6 packs left. So, I am back on the hunt.
What's the best coffee deal you found lately?

We buy the bulk box of coffee pods (generic) at Sam's Club. I am too asleep this morning to do the breakdown for you.

I’m looking for Tasters Choice instant coffee as I’m halfway to finishing it. Prices seem to have gone up. I usually find it on sale at Duane Reade/Walgreens but not only is it not on sale, it’s not even in stock.

The grocery store had buy 2 get 1 free the other week, on the bigger containers of Folger's, plus it was 20% off. I had a coupon for $2.00 off when you buy 2. I saved about $24.00 on them.
I try to buy when it is on sale. It doesn't matter if it is Folger's, Maxwell House or the store brand. Like you I love my coffee.
