HELP!! I need coffee beans!

kristi_martin

So I got the greatest idea from you girls to use coffee beans for my centerpieces!  I absolutely love the idea, but I am having some trouble finding where I can buy them in bulk for a reasonable price.  Is there such a thing?  Does anyone have any suggestions, or places I can look?

If you know of anyone who works at Caribou/Starbucks/Dunn Bros, you could ask for their unused coffee beans - they throw them out at the end of the day, I believe. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong!!)

I checked with a few coffee places and they donate theirs to food shelves so unless you have a good friend that can sneak you some they are hard to get from there.
