The most dreadful shopping experience that I can imagine is at a Walmart Super Center. Yet I shop wisely these days and plan exactly what I can purchase once a month. The trick is to go early in the morning, well before the hoards arrive.
To my surprise (or not) McDonald’s now sells ground coffee retail. It’s about two bucks more than the boring standard issue, yet still much cheaper than Starbucks and all the rip-off “premium” clones.
Turns out it is shockingly good coffee. I avoid McDonald’s even more than Walmart, but this is one product I will buy again (and it won’t add to a premature heart attack or stroke).
