With an unusually wintry December behind us and more than two months of winter ahead, orange juice is a welcome shot of citrusy sunshine in a glass. But the price of your vitamin C hit can be steep. We visited a Chicago supermarket to see how various options break down per 8-ounce serving:
$1.14
Fresh-squeezed at home ($4.29 for a 4-pound bag of juice oranges, figuring that 4 oranges make 8 ounces of juice)
87 cents
Fresh-squeezed at the store ($7 for a 64-ounce jug)
50 cents
Minute Maid Premium Original Orange Juice ($3.99 for a 64-ounce carton)
42 cents
Minute Maid Frozen Premium Original Orange Juice from Concentrate ($5 for two 12-ounce cans)
37 cents
Store-brand orange juice from concentrate ($2.99 for a 64-ounce carton)
