So, if you’re looking to save money or just want to try some options at home, here are some coffees that can get you started at your local grocery store.

Price: $19.99

Costco’s Kirkland Signature has coffee beans from different countries, including Guatemala and Costa Rica, but the Ethiopian blend sticks out for some shoppers.

“This coffee is batting way above what a warehouse coffee should,” said Redditor needs_more_zoidberg. “Bright, no bitterness, nice caramel notes.”

Remember that Costco sells items in bulk, so the price tag may look high — but it’s for a two-pound bag of coffee.

2. Simply Nature Fair Trade Organic Peruvian Whole Bean Coffee

Bottom line

Money tips that can work for everyone

No matter what your bank account balance is, there's always an opportunity to optimize and improve your finances. Here's a quick checklist of things you can look at today.

Focus on paying off your debt. Debt can hold you back from making progress with your overall financial well-being. Aside from cutting expenses, there are tools that can help you pay off debt faster like balance transfer credit cards and debt counseling.

Earning extra income can give you breathing room. If finances are tight, earning some extra money to supplement your income can make a huge difference. A new job is one option to consider, but if you're not ready to make a big change or already retired, a part-time side job could be a better choice.

Cut your expenses. It sounds painful and so not fun, but it doesn't have to be. Take a look at your biggest expenses because that's where you'll probably find the biggest savings. For example, auto insurance rates have been soaring so shopping around for a new insurance company can be the fastest way to cut your bill. Also, look for ways to cut your grocery bill (despite rising inflation).
