Motts for Tots apple juice is a ripoff

magnoliablossom

I have never bought it before until Saturday.  I normally buy another brand and dilute it myself with water.  I'm normally a label reader and this one got past me.  I read that it had 40% less sugar than reg apple juice and I looked at the sugar content and it was true compared to our reg brand, so I bought it.

The next morning my dh points out that it is already diluted with water. 

I paid .24 less for the motts which is watered down than I would have if I bought the 100% juice and diluted it myself.  Therefore I paid more for something and got less than I would have normally based on how I use it. 

I'm a dork.  At least I won't do that again.

I know it's diluted with water and that's why I like it

I don't buy it for the house, only "to go", so I don't really waste that much money, but I don't have to worry about diluting it at the park.

That's true, but it's hard to get your diluted juice back in the box! =o)?

Ditto the pp, we send it to school w/DD. They don't dilute juice there so I send her in the with Motts for Tots.

I have juicy juice at home that I dilute like crazy. I make one bottle last a week or so, lol.

I only buy it for when we're on the go and I buy the juice boxes.

I only buy the juice boxes for on the go and preschool snack but for the house I buy regular juice...I'm not paying for the water when I can add my own for free.

I too only buy it for on the go.

I buy the juice boxes so I am fine with it because you can't really dilute juice boxes.

DD doesn't really drink much juice so I don't mind.  A package of juice boxes lasts us months and months.

I agree. I found a lower sugar apple juice (giant store brand) and it had less sugar than the mots for tots and costs way less. DD doesn't drink juice but DH and I do on occasion.
