Recycled Coffee Bean Bag for the Market

The best part about these bags that are made from recycled coffee bags are that they are sewn up via a vocational training program at a women’s correctional facility in Shakopee, MN. Help your fellow humans.
$15.95 for bag on left and $14.95 for bag on right at Providence Coffee

How is the price $14.95 – 15.95 justified on something that was made out of free material, and by prisoners who are getting paid less than $8 an hour, which would be the maximum time it would take to make a bag like this. Also please elloaborate how buying this bag will “Help your fellow humans”, is the profit being donated to some type of charity? Does sewing bags, set these women up with life skills?

Seconded. Plus an hour is a bit off the mark to sew a bag like this. More like 15 minutes.

Who cares if the person wants $14.95 or $100 for the bag. Lets get realistic, the person is a prisoner. They really don’t deserve to be paid a lot for making the bags. They are getting to stay in prison for free, eat for free, receive medical treatment for free, etc… So think of something more realistic to compalin about, like world hunger, child abuse, etc… Man people, get real…

These are so cool! I admire people who can make amazing things out of ordinary stuff. It also great that you can recycle these coffee sacks.
