The next time you buy your favorite apple or orange juice remember this fact. The greatest percentage of your favorite juice is water, for which you pay the manufacturer to collect, package, and ship to your local grocery store.
Instead of buying a carton of orange juice, consider going to the frozen foods section of the store and picking up a small container of juice concentrate. At home combine the frozen concentrate with your own water. Generally you can save 25-40% by doing this.
Consider these examples,
A 64 oz cartoon of Minute Maid orange juice in a local Chicago supermarket costs $4.49 This works out to 7.02 cents per ounce of juice.
Compare this to a 16oz frozen Minute Maid concentrate that costs $3.19. When mixed with water at home the concentrate makes 64 ounces of juice. Total cost works out to 4.98 cents per ounce of juice.
Buying the juice concentrate saves you 29%.
