 I splurged at Christmas time and bought Hubster and myself each a 5 lb. bag of our favorite flavored coffee beans from the roasting house. It's probably been about 3 or 4 years since we've had any of it! It was part of our Christmas to each other. We've opened his and are using it, and mine (heheheheeee) is stashed back deep in the freezer. I wouldn't have given any thought of getting any but was driving by there and I hardly ever get to that part of the city, so, it made for a nice surprise and he was happy to get some! Brownie points for Mrs. SantaFrugalis!
He drinks it but doesn't want any of his buddies to know he likes 'frou-frou-girl' coffee. HA!
