The Truth About Juice

By -
It is no secret that there is a lot of sugar in juice...that is why I always bought 100% juice. Then V8 Fusion came on the market - it was 100% fruit AND veggie juice in a glorious variety of flavors/colors. It is so wonderful that even books like "Eat This, Not That" recommend it.

Then they came out with "light" juice...which is simply a watered down version of the original juice and they add artificial sweetener to it for flavor.

ICK!

I take the Original juice and cut it with water (50/50) and have done so ever since my peanut started drinking it. Her 1 8oz serving a day (as recommend for small fry) is really 16 oz because it is half water so she gets "two" glasses a day
=)
It still counts are fruit and veggie, is less sweet and saves money! That $3 bottle of juice is now TWO bottles of juice for the same price.

Ocean Spray has jumped on the Fruit/veggie juice bandwagon and has two flavors out there...hopefully more are around the corner as it is a little less than the V8!

OMG- that means my latest score of 22 bottles is really more like 44 bottles, LOL!

Let's do some math!
Each bottle holds 64 ounces or 8 servings. 1 Serving a day, from 22 bottles means I have enough juice for 176 days, or 6 months if she is the only one drinking it.
Each bottle came to about $.20 so each serving is approx $.03 a day

Who doesn't love that OR see the value in stockpiling?

I have a feeling it is time for a quick giveaway!
I have ten coupons for $1 off the OS juice...leave me a comment on this thread about your favorite post of mine so far...you have almost 200 to choose from!

    My favorite post was the one where you fixed up your driveway. We just moved into a house with things that need to be fixed up which is very overwhelming but reading your post made me feel more confident that I can do things to make my house better!

    No favorite either - really enjoy reading about deals you find and make. I think we read some of the some blogs because our transactions are often the same! ;)
    Does Madison have a CVS? I think you'd get hooked on that ... Brookfield just opened one right by our house. LOVE it and holy deals!!!
    Have a great weekend!

I know this sounds strange -- and yummy at the same time, LOL You need to know the family history to "get it". We are part German, part English, part Irish and part Tennessee Hillbilly. Seriously. Did you ever see that black and white movie of Gary Cooper's called Sergeant York? Yes, my family comes from the Dyer/Yorks -- same family. Some of the "family recipes" are too far out there for even me to try... But this is a pot luck favorite. SUPER Easy and SUPER Easy to make healthier. We choose the middle of the road option, LOL You need:  1 package hot dog buns (8 ct) 1 package hot dogs 2 cups chili (or 1 can) 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese "fixins" That's it! You could do gluten free or whole grain wheat buns, turkey or tofu dogs, vegetarian chili, vegan or light cheese, you get the drift. We do white buns, cut them up and place in the 9x13 pan, like you see here: Then you dice up the hot dogs
