In the Midwest..... where there's not an orange tree in site or within hours of here. 4.50 for a half gallon or 8 bucks a gallon. Fresh squeezed in a new container.Quote:

In Mexico. same story as the DR.
Lommis I live in the Midwest also and can tell you the fresh squeezed juice at the deli's and stores in KC don't hold a candle to the vendors and Shamrock, in Negril. The beach guys are lugging 30 to 40lbs of liquid, ice, fruit up and down miles of sand, hand delivering to most tourists hangover/ re-cup stake on the beach?! Factor in the view and ambiance and are you kiddin me,? $5 is too much?
Different strokes I guess........ peace

It's not too much..just a bit high. In the US you have rent for a storefront....in Mexico and the DR they have the same conditions as Ja. Just a bit high in my experience.
I hear you, peace my friend, full joy ur next reach.

I purchase Soursop from Ricky...5$ and so delish!
There are some stands on the West End where they charge more. However, they will blend any other fruit with the OJ (i.e. mango, pineapple) and squeeze it by hand right in front of you. To me, that is worth the 7 bucks. I can probably find fresh squeezed oj at home, from some Pennsylvania dairy, but nothing this fresh.
Really fresh squeezed? That's a pretty amazing price, considering how many oranges you need to squeeze to get a half gallon - 24-32 medium oranges. Add in the labor and the container, and you're getting a price I certainly can't match in central NY state.Quote:

Compared to ordering a glass of of OJ in a stateside restaurant I feel 5$ is a steal.
750ml.Quote:
