Ideally, you should use your coffee right away after grinding, as ground coffee starts to go stale faster than you'd think. "If using pre-ground coffee, it should be consumed within two to three days for the best flavor. After that, much of the flavor complexity and compounds will fade," Chan explained. While you might be able to extend that an another week or two, don't forget: the refrigerator isn't a good long term option for storing coffee.

But we also have to be careful of how we store our sugar. A preservative in and of itself, sugar doesn't expire on its own. But if it's exposed to air, it meets moisture, and that moisture can turn its fine granules into hard clumps and also introduce bacteria - two deal-breakers for using that sugar again. Plus, exposed sugar is basically a cordial invitation to pests.
