fresh vs. frozen oj - Page 2

I just purchased a can of concentrated to try out. I was 1.29 at Aldi. I haven't had frozen in years, so we shall see if we like it or not. Simply Orange is my fav, but it breaks my budget. I need to check Sam's for the frozen if we like it.....

I stock up when it is on sale!

The frozen concentrate is by far the cost effective option if you are not looking at sales. I however do not like it. So when the not from concentrate goes on sale I stock up ... recently Tropicana 96 ounce was on sale for $2.99 but the limit was 2. So I bought 2 and each of my 2 kids bought 2 ... so we ended up with 6. Thank goodness for the 2nd fridge in the basement.

We use the Aldi's frozen OJ and my kids like it. Never had a problem with it.

Any idea if one is better for you than the other? I try not to buy ones that are from concentrate. Food is the area in my budget the I am willing to splurge in for organic items and things that are better for us.
