Answer 1

The absolute cheapest way to buy coffee in bulk is unground. But buying it from a grocery store will not net you the best pricing. Consider looking up a manufacturer and call them. If you buy direct and in bulk, they'll be more than able to discount it for you depending on the quantity.

Answer 2

either Way it is the same unless there is a price difference per pound.

You question is the same as asking which is heavier a pound of bricks or a pound of feathers.
