You are in the right season, anyway, assuming you have a Ross, or a TJ Max, or another consignment shop somewhere in your neck of the woods. They are always dirt cheap after Christmas. Just make sure you get one that has a metal press, not plastic. They are buggers to clean anyways and the plastic strips it's threads about the 4th time you take it apart.
Thanks for the tips.

Plastic does not touch my coffee at any point. Not only does it ruin the taste, there's evidence it is not good for you at all. BPA, BPS and their replacements might do some nasty things to ya.

Agree on that. Plastic is not pleasant thanks to the VOCs. Don't even let it touch the coffee in the freezer, the beans are stored in a couple of tins. I grind it fresh each time.

I once saw a woman at a convenience store buy 8 submarine sandwiches from the convenience store deli and pay for it with a SNAP card.

No.  Go to the F***ING grocery store, and do what I (have to) do and buy chicken roll or bologna on sale, cheese ends, and a loaf of day-old bread off the discount rack to feed your spawn you F****ING breeder sow.

I really have had it...  3 times out of every 5 trips to Wal*Mart the person in front of me is using some sort of entitlement card.

I see this scene quite frequently in my neighborhood grocery store.
Someone will go in with a food stamp card and buy ALL of something on sale, if the store doesn't put a limit on it.
Snickers, cheetos, soft drinks, etc.
These same people take it back to a convenience store they own and sell it there.
100% profit, paid for by us.
