In Hilo, I can't buy ANY coffee at $2/lb. Twice that maybe, if I'm
lucky (on sale) and it's imported from low wage countries, not fair
trade, and nothing special. Kona for $22/lb is a bargain last I
looked.
K'au or Puna you may still be able to get for $20 or $16, if you can
find
it at all.
$2?
Forget it. I can't get Maxwell House for that.
