Whatever will I do?

I learned about the demise of Postum after the fact. I was shocked and saddened. It was like hearing about the death of a friend two weeks too late and missing the funeral. I missed the mad rush to the grocery store to hoard all remaining jars on the shelves. I was left Postumless. I even ransacked my grandparent's pantry in the hopes of finding a jar, but no such luck (I really thought my chances where pretty good considering that they still have jars of pearl onions dating back to the 40s). Then I looked on Ebay. Jars were going for $60 a piece! I guess I am not the only one in need of the mighty Postum.
Sigh.
So, what do I do now? I am sure that there are other coffee substitutes out there but will any of them measure up to Postum? Any suggestions? :)

I've cut way back on my caffiene but I don't think I could cut it out totally. Good for you if you can. $60 for a jar? That's just not right!!!!
Earl Grey my dear-- You can't go wrong with a steaming cup of that!

Seriously though, I'm pretty certain we can find a Postum substitute. Becca.elpy - can you take a look at the ingredients on your last remaining jar and let us know what it was made out of?
I also saw this... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coffee_substitute
I hope you find a good sub!
wheat bran, wheat, molasses, maltodextrin (from corn)
My parents have tried teeccino. I tried the Hazelnut, it was really harsh w/o a good amount of milk and sugar.
