That's just the Tim's ... I also have a years supply of Gevalia imported from Sweden that I make every morning. I have at least 32 OZ's before I get to the office ... 2 large travel mugs (tims), one before shower and a second for the road ... I have NO trouble sleeping ...

I'm not a real P-car guy, cause .... get this.....

I grind my own coffee, brew it in the morning and stick it in a "Nissan thermos" thermos and travel mug. Great coffee beans from costco... about $6/lb. I drink about 3 medium-large coffees each work day.

I buy Tims maybe 1/week.

In Ontario ... Tim Hortons has a number of different pricing structures ... T.O. has higher prices because the taxes, and some other input costs are higher.

This is true in some of the special tourist areas, and in the far north ... the cost difference is fairly low ... but as pongobaz eluded to, there is always "Fivebucks" ... whoops, I mean Starbucks, where you can grab a cup of joe.

It is odd that P car owners are worried about a 6 cent price hike in coffee. My car spits out more $$ then that in fuel warming up for a drive!

We gotta pay for the gasoline somehow ....

It's just the difference in price structure for the same product across the GTA from the same provider ...

Prefere the "other Tims" than 5 bucks ... maybe even a second cup if it's good ..

Be careful here Jaak...I don't think Timmies is the only commodity that has different price structures...I used to work for a company that had basic services cheaper in other areas...I say no more........
