Dec 9-10: 20% off Holiday Coffees and Teas at Peet’s

For two days only, at participating Peet’s brick and mortar stores, you can get a 20% off discount when you purchase their holiday coffees and teas on Friday December 9 and Saturday December 10 in 2016. Only actual coffees (ground or beans) and teas (loose leaf or bags), along with holiday gift items are eligible. The sale does not include barista-made drinks or pastries or their regular prepared foods or drinks and accessories.

Needless to say, if you like their Holiday Blend coffee or their Winter Solstice or Holiday Blend teas, this is a great opportunity to stock-up and get some gifts too. The Winter Solstice tea is so tasty and fragrant, that alone is a must buy 🙂

An excellent choice is the Winter Solstice tea (flavored black tea), in the characteristic Peets tin, sadly with the Mighty Leaf logos #StillBitter

12pk Casa Trail Tea K-Cups for $2 at Grocery Outlet

If you live near a Grocery Outlet and like to drink tea from K-Cups (I hope the tea purists are not reading this post), they currently have 12-packs of Casa Trail K-Cups on sale for $2 per dozen. The flavors include Green, Breakfast (black tea), and the popular Earl Grey (pictured below). I just bought this, I haven’t tried it yet, I’m re-arranging kitchen and the machine that makes K-cups is not within reach).

You can also see in the receipt above, also for $2, you can get a 22-ounce squeeze-bottle of Kraft Olive Oil Mayo. I don’t think I ever tried olive-oil mayo before (or don’t remember doing so), so it should be an interesting curiosity given the price 🙂

Sharp TE-T56U-GR Tea-Cere Matcha Tea Maker for $200

This is blasphemy for some matcha fans, so TRIGGER WARNING 🙂 This is a machine that makes matcha. No whisk, no bowl, no bamboo utensils, no manual effort. *GASP*

If you aren’t triggered by all this, keep on reading because the Sharp TE-T56U-GR Tea-Cere Matcha Tea Maker is currently on sale for $200 with free shipping at Amazon by Amazon actual. This started at $300 when I began monitoring it. It has only nine reviews so far, along with three questions answered, and an intermediate level of details in the product description.

The price is a combination of convenience and being among the first to market with such a device. I’m sure in a couple of years there may be more competing devices which will bring prices down. But this is more for the early adopters who like to try out new things 🙂

8oz total 4-Tea Teavana Loose Leaf Sampler for $8.74

You can put your Prime membership to good use with this offer, you can get this Rise and Shine Collection Sampler by Teavana through Amazon for just $8.74. This sampler contains four 2-oz loose leaf teas, two oolongs (one flavored, one unflavored”), an Earl Gray and a Mate (caffeinated non-tea tea).

This is a pretty good deal, this sampler sold for a lot more while on sale at the Teavana website. Paying close to $1 per ounce of brand-name tea is pretty good!

Limit up to 30 per customer. It is fulfilled by Amazon, so if you are a Prime member, you can get one sampler and still get free 2-day shipping. If you are not a Prime member, you need a $49+ order to get free shipping. Or an order with $25+ in books, which includes tea books. A good way to make a themed purchase.

NOTE: I haven’t tried any of those teas, so I can’t tell you how good/bad they are, but you can google for reviews. Keep in mind when reading the reviews that many of the people reviewing paid a lot more for these.

100pk Stash Lemon Ginger Herbal Tea under $9 with coupon

Last week we spotted a good deal on the Stash Licorice 100pk, but that’s not all! Also running with a 20% off clip-on coupon at Amazon is the 100pk of Stash Lemon Ginger Herbal Tea. The price before you add the clip-on coupon is $10.95. After you add the 20% off coupon, it drops to $8.76. This is the one-time purchase.

If you are willing to do a “Subscribe and Save” (SaS), you can save an extra 5% or 15% off, depending on how many SaS items you have going on. Personally I don’t want to have to worry about adjusting or cancelling SaS orders, so I just do the one-time purchase unless the discounts are significant enough.

The shipping terms are as usual, free with Prime or with a $49+ order or with SaS. Keep in mind SaS is not Prime eligible, so if you hate slow shipping, keep that in mind.

PS: this is the Subscribe and Save store that shows all the eligible items and promotions. There are close to 100,000 eligible items (!!!).

PS2: if you are not familiar with how all these work, here’s a screenshot below of the SaS listing, with arrows pointing to all the locations on the website you have to pay attention to. The Subscribe and Save overlay is when you click on the “Details” link over there…

This is not just licorice, there’s a number of other items included, check picture #3 in the gallery over there to see them all. There are many flavors on the same review page, so if you want to read reviews for this flavor one, here’s the link that has all 195 of them for this model (out of over 4000 total).

Teavana Gravity Tea Brewers On Sale: 16oz for $14, 32oz for $21 [select colors]

It’s tea time again! If you like to brew loose leaf tea (or even tea bags) in those gravity brewers, the official Teavana website sale has some of the colors of both their 16oz and 32oz models on sale. The 16oz models (green, pink) go for $14 each, while the 32oz model (dark blue) goes for $21.

In parallel they have a sale on some of their loose leaf tea, the 2oz of the Caramel Chai Rooibos goes for $2.50, while the Chocolate Chai Black Tea goes for $3.25, and Oprah’s signature Chai Tea goes for $3.75 per 2oz. Fans of “real tea”, maybe interested in the 2oz of Yunnan Golden Pu-Erh going for $4. This averages 3.7 out of 5 based on 41 customer reviews which can be hard to decode since some of them are people who tried puerh for the first time, while others are puerh diehards that are too demanding 🙂

You can easily find the above by sorting the Sale page by Lower Price.

Having said all that, shipping is free with orders of $50+, so if you are not planning a big purchase, you have to trade off the shipping fees versus buying elsewhere (eg the gravity brewers get free Prime shipping at Amazon at their regular prices).

PS: if you are interested in iron teapots (for brewing tea, not heating water), Teavana has a big markup on them, you may want to research some of the more affordable models available at Cost Plus World Market (no free shipping either but may have store pickup).

Heads up: Free shipping at Peet’s website July 15-17 in 2016

Great news if you want to get something from the Peet’s website, and you don’t like to pay shipping fees or place huge orders (that would otherwise qualify you for free shipping). Running this weekend, Friday until the close of business on Sunday 7/17/16, you can get free domestic shipping on all items at Peets.com.

This promotion is mentioned at the bottom of the email announcing the coconut promotion. Here’s a screenshot of the fineprint of the free shipping offer:

Prime Pantry Tea Deal: 3.53oz Twinings Earl Gray for $3.85

This is a pretty good deal if you like Earl Gray loose leaf tea, it’s only $1 per ounce. It is under Prime Pantry, so you have to place one of those orders to get it, but you can buy as many as you like so if this is your favorite tea, you can stock up (and give them to your friends and family as impromptu gifts). It is the 3.53oz loose leaf Twinings Earl Grey going for $3.85.

This is a fairly small, it only fills 1% of your Pantry container. The Pantry Pox has a $6 flat delivery fee, but you can either use the $6 Prime slow-shipping credits to counter it, or buy some of the promotional items that get you free shipping for the rest of your order. The latter is hit or miss, since you have to like the participating products, and if you are trying to eat healthy and avoid Colas and such, it’s harder to find a combination to get you free shipping.
