Saving Money on Juice
Buy ConcentrateMy daughters love juice and drink a lot of it. While it is nice and convenient to buy the gallon jugs of the already prepared juice, the concentrate is much cheaper and tastes just as good.By Robin Add Extra WaterWhen the directions call for 3 cans of water, I put in 4 cans. My family hardly notices the difference and it stretches it a lot.By Michele Add Water To Each GlassI also add the extra water. But then when I go to get a glass of juice, I add even more water. Can't tell a difference. I am doing this with milk also.By Sandy Make Ice Cubes With LeftoversWhen the juice bottle is sitting too long, I freeze them into ice cubes for the kid's water or I add enough juice to the water to flavor, especially Concord grape juice. I also stock up on sales, especially of apple juice, and usually buy generic, unless it is substantially healthier (all natural, more vitamins etc.)By Camo_angels Add Seltzer To JuiceAlso, a great idea is to mix seltzer in with your juice. If you get seltzer on sale, you can make many great combos with it. For instance; white grape juice and lemon-lime seltzer mix to make a "citrusy" sparkling beverage. Also, if you have just a little juice left in your container you can add it to Jello or on fruit salad to give it a kick. These tips work great with either ready-to-drink or concentrate juiceBy Starr Juice BlendsI buy 100% Cranberry juice (sweet - mostly grape juice) (good for kidneys) and add 100% real cranberry juice (tart). It is costly but goes a long way to boost the effects. I put about 1/3 of the real juice bottle into one bottle of Cranberry (grape) -- so three bottles of good-for-you juice come from that one bottle of actual cranberry juice.By Linda Serve Juice With IceUse real juice concentrate, frozen and add extra water. Add ice cubes to the juice, takes up more room and the kids think they are getting more (use cool ice cube containers if you need to convince them).By Michawnpita Eat Fruit InsteadSince juice is basically sugar water, I don't buy a lot of it for my family, but I do get lots of fruit for us, and I haven't had a lot of complaints. We do drink a lot of water that has been filtered.By Bobbe Do you have any ideas for saving money on juice? Post them below! | |
