Nope. Connecticut. I couldn’t believe the prices. I stood there for five minutes staring, hoping to find the error. My two sons just developed a taste for orange juice and the price doubled in a week.

Ame in MA ray. And meat has doubled, too. We don’t buy ice cream anymore since it went to almost 7.00 for what used to be a gallon, but is now a smaller package.

You have to remember the frost on the orange crop last winter has a lot to do with the price of orange juice.

Oranges and orange juice are out of season. You are surely seeing the result of last winter's freezes, now.

Instead of going to the store with a list, take the ads and buy what is on sale. You will save money and get more variety in your diet. Either that or get a chicken coop. I will say I bought a chicken at Walmart last week for $4.00. They have been $5 for a long time. This one had such big breasts, it could have been taken for Dolly Parton. I split them into four pieces.

FWIW, oranges are picked during the orange harvest season which begins in January and finally ends in June. Any increases in demand btwn July 1 and Dec. 31 will tend to force the price of OJ up.

Obviously, your two sons are the source of the rising OJ price.
