I haven't had any trouble finding regular cane sugar (most sugars are either made from cane, or from beets) (I found Turbiando raw cane sugar at Fresh and Easy for a very good price. I don't remember what the price was, I just remember that I was impressed)
As far as stevia goes, if you want "pure" stevia, they sell the plant in the herbs section at Home Depot. They sell the processed, granulated type (looks like sugar) in the sugar section near the splenda at grocery stores. One brand name is "truvia"

thanks
most sugar in the stores is from gmo(causes cancer in most lab animals) beets no longer cane sugar and truvia is not stevia they are lying to you. i just saw a truvia commercial and they said it was made from a little green leaf.just read the ingredients.

i have had a stevia plant for the last 3 years but its hard to get it into coffee.

all stevia sugars contain maltodextrin or dextrose as the main first ingredient.i am allergic to it

i can get it at trader joes for only $160.00 usd a pound

lol

Truvia® natural sweetener has zero calories and is made from the best tasting part of the stevia leaf to sweeten your coffee, tea or baked goods.

Sweetness born from a leaf, not in a lab. Meet the stevia plant. The proud parent of our natural sweetener. People have been sweetening foods and beverages with stevia leaves for hundreds of years. The taste comes from a natural ingredient from the leaves called rebiana.

Truvia is a stevia-based sugar substitute developed jointly by Coca-Cola and Cargill.



main ingrediant erythritol not stevia

lies lies lies lies lies

maybe coke and cargil is the real reason i cant find it

Maybe you can use the leaves of your stevia plant to brew a tea. After brewing, you can probably reduce it to make a concentrate that you can add to your coffee.

Or maybe just throw a couple of leaves in the filter basket with the coffee grounds...
