Next time you're at wal-mart buying tubs for the cigars, swing by the food isle where they have coffee, you'll probably find some there - bright yellow and blue vacuum brick packages. It's not really that expensive either, like $2-$3 a brick.
Best I can recall seeing around here (outside of a can) is at Costco. Can't recall the price, but it comes in 2 lb. bags. Quite a bit cheaper than the usual grocery store fare around here. They might actually use $2-3 coffee for doorstops in this area.
I think the bricks are 8oz, and yea, very inexpensive.

I seem to recall buying it for about a buck less than that at wal-mart last time I purchased it.

However... I found a brand at Costco that tastes the same and it's cheaper. Jose's Colombian roast. $9.99 for 3 lbs.
BUT for everyday, start me up, morning java. . .
Trader Joe's "JOE" blend.
20 minutes in the Corningware Stove Top Perculator. YUM!
(and it's about $4/lb.)
