Cost Plus: Buy three bags of coffee, get one free.

Cost Plus has a coffee rewards program where you buy six 12-oz bags of coffee and get one free... and on Wednesdays, you get double points, so it's actually buy three, get one free.  My mom, who's quite a thrifty shopper herself, does this during the holidays for office gifts or to tuck into holiday food baskets.  So you could get an early start on your shopping or just stock up your pantry for a while!

And just in case you belonged to the OLD coffee club that had a physical card, you can turn it in before August 31 and get a free bag, too.

"This is a new coffee rewards program, tracked electronically - with no card to punch! Click the 'Sign Up' link to apply for a free World Market Explorer ID and enter it at the time of purchase in the store to receive credit toward your coffee reward. After purchasing six bags, you'll receive notification of the earned reward by email, and you must print the reward coupon to redeem it in the store for a free bag of coffee."

My mom tells me they have plenty of flavored coffees, especially around the holidays, which makes it perfect for gift-giving. She might be a little mad that I'm sharing her secret with you, but I think thrifty tips are made for sharing!  :)
