I usually go for the Kaldi lucky bag. It used to be a lunch bag and three bags of coffee (one of which was a Blue Mountain blend) for ¥2000. To me, that was a great deal. However, it's been ¥3000 these past two years, so it's getting to the point of being not worth it for me, especially not waking up early to trek down to the nearest Kaldi. I'm not a big fan of their New Years blend and dark roasts anyway, so that leaves the Blue Mountain blend. Plus, it's a much better deal when they do customer appreciation week and their coffee is half off, so I stocked up last time they had one. I do get use out of the tote bag, though, so I bought one off Mercari. Figured it's win-win, someone gets their coffee, and I get the tote bag off them for ¥400.
Mr. Donuts used to essentially pay for itself, ¥2000 for 20 donuts and goods, ¥3000 for 30 donuts and goods, etc… Don't know if it does anymore, though. Plus, they didn't do a Pokémon collaboration lucky bag this year.
St. Marcs caught my wife's eye for the goods, but there's none near us. I did mention, since we don't really eat there, why not just buy the goods off Mercari, let the person who bought it use the coupons.
Any good deals still out there? What do you usually get, if any?
