It was about 8 years ago when I discovered I had a love for coffee. I loved the taste, the smell, the slow process of drinking it.. basically, I realized I loved everything about it. Hubby has a love for coffee that is as strong as mine (if not stronger). Together, the two of us can very easily put a huge dent into our budget if we purchase gourmet coffee while we are out driving. We’ve learned that we can not only save a ton of money, but really make tasty cups of coffee in the comfort of our own home. Have you tried Gevalia coffee? They have many different strengths and flavors to choose from. Go HERE to see the learn about Cooking up Magic with Kraft Foods and view all of the different Gevalia Coffees and K-cups that are available!
I purchased my Gevalia House Blend coffee at my local Walmart. The coffee aisle was clearly marked and it wasn’t difficult to find the Gevalia coffee! I was armed with a $1.50 off Gevalia Coffee 12 oz bag coupon which brought the cost of my coffee down to just $3.98! Talk about frugal! It was interesting because it was apparent that Gevalia Coffee is very popular at my Walmart! One flavor was completely sold out and there were only a few bags of House Blend available.
Instantly when I opened the bag of Gevalia Coffee I was happy. The coffee smells amazing and I was excited to brew it and drink it. How do you drink your coffee? I find that most days, I will have a cup of coffee while working and then a second cup of coffee with either a morning snack or an early afternoon snack.
Today I was in the mood to enjoy a cup of coffee while eating fresh baked Sour Cream Banana Bread so I decided to whip up a loaf. Instead of waiting to have a cup with the baked bread, I decided to pour a cup to enjoy while I prepared the bread. (See below for the Sour Cream Banana Bread Recipe.) I don’t know how you like your coffee, but I like mine with cream and just a little sugar. The House Blend is smooth – not to0 strong but yet full of flavor. The cup of coffee was divine and was the perfect accompaniment to baking.
Once the banana bread was baked, I poured a cup of coffee and enjoyed it with a piece of banana bread. The coffee went perfectly with the sweetness of the sour cream banana bread.

Thanks for coming to Addicted to Saving! Here’s a little bit about me so you can know who’s behind all these posts!
My name is Liza and I began my money-saving journey in the Spring of 2009 as a way to stretch a limited household income. I had lost my job and my hubby was self-employed. I launched Addicted to Saving in November of 2009 and it has grown by leaps and bounds. Since then, my hubby and I have struggled with the ups and downs of two failed adoptions and are now LOVING being parents to our little man Asher who we brought home from Ethiopia in August of 2013. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help you save money. My goal is that you will have FUN and become empowered to save more and more money each week..
Of all of the gourmet coffee available at Wal-Mart, Publix and other stores, this is by far our favorite. Publix has this on sale often and even BOGO several times throughout the year. Use the $1.50 coupon, it makes a good deal on great coffee!
I love making different variation of banana bread. Thanks for the recipe. #client
