In news that has shocked the nation, it’s been announced that 7-Eleven’s famous $1 coffee is no more. The retailer announced that due to “sustained cost increases,” the delightfully cheap caffeine hit will now be setting customers back $2.
The price increase is the first we’ve seen in 13 years. And to add insult to injury, not only is the 7-Eleven coffee going up in price but so too are iced coffees and hot chockees. Slurpees are being hit as well, with prices for a large going up $1.50.
The changes are going to be implemented from October 4, so get your uber-affordable fill while you can.
