[02:06]	IsambardPrince	I keep seeing coffee prices.
[02:06]	IsambardPrince	They're up 40% since I last bought some.
[02:07]	IsambardPrince	When I saw futures spike a couple years ago I bought about 6 years worth of coffee all at once.
[02:07]	IsambardPrince	The truth is that as long as it stays vacuum sealed it's fine.
[02:07]	IsambardPrince	It doesn't really "go stale" until you break the vacuum seal.
[02:13]	IsambardPrince	I noticed there's no sales at the grocery store on coffee now.
[02:13]	IsambardPrince	Probably just trying to keep the shell shock under control.
