Deal History includes data from multiple reputable stores, such as Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. The lowest price among stores for a given day is selected as the "Sale Price".
Sale Price does not include sale prices at Amazon unless a deal was posted by a community member.
Is there any reason posts like this don't include the price per cup? ๐ค
I'll take a shot at your question...
This deal has multiple products, at different quantities (ex. 88 or 96), and at different prices ($38.99 - $44.99) and thus, someone would have to do a whole lot of extra work to give you price per cup. This deal was posted by staff - who make a lot of posts per day, so I'm guessing they did not have the time to price out per cup but elected to just put it out there...and let the community thumb up or thumb down on the deal. In this case, the thumbs up are winning...so it must be a good price.
Of course, it would be helpful if you or someone else wanted to go through and price out the most popular items and quantities and make your own post about price per cup. We all have a calculator on our computer, device, phone...

(well, I would have posted something here but SD will either cut a link so it does not work or just URL Block it - so that we can't help each other - Does SD offer a URL shortener??)

The current Staples pricing on K-Cup coffee pods is highly competitive and beats long-term historical averages, though iced tea pods remain premium-priced. [1] ๐ Pricing Comparison Overview Product Category Staples Current Promo Price Historical Market Average Market Position Bulk Coffee Pods (96 ct)$0.41 / pod ($38.99 total)$0.50 to $0.65 / pod Excellent Deal (Bottom tier pricing) Iced Tea Pods (24 ct) $0.68 to $0.70 / pod ($16.29+)$0.60 to $0.75 / pod Standard Promo (Average savings) ๐ Key Historical Trends & Context
The Coffee Pod Benchmark: Historically, standard coffee K-Cups have hovered between $0.50 and $0.75 per pod for bulk everyday brands, while premium options reach up to $1.10 per pod. Getting a name-brand variety pack or medium roast at $0.41 per pod sits right at the lowest historical floor typically reserved for generic or extreme warehouse discount sales. [1, 2, 3]
The 2024โ2026 Inflation Spike: This deal is especially strong given recent commodity pressures. Due to extreme weather events in Brazil and Vietnam alongside global supply chain shifts, grocery store coffee prices jumped roughly 21% between 2024 and late 2025. Many bulk 96-count brands are tracking at retail prices closer to $49.00 to $51.00 ($0.51 - $0.53/pod). [1, 2]
The Single-Serve Convenience Premium: While $0.41/pod is an excellent price for a Keurig user, single-serve coffee structurally remains more expensive than bulk brewing. Standard ground coffee averages about $0.20 to $0.40 per cup to brew traditionally at home. [1, 2]

With all the time you just spent, you could have just posted the price per cup.
AI is probably writing these at this point and we know many of these are more ad than a desire to save us money at this point. All I'm saying is to at least do the division on the cheapest option.
If I see 10 posts like this and each one has different prices and different counts, it becomes a lot of work everyone is doing to get to the only really important number. Obviously the amount of coffee in each pod at type is important too.
What you're saying is you prefer a less valuable shopping site.
