Most diet drinks are just watered down juices with artifical sweeteners, usually 5% juice. Instead of paying 4-5$ for mostly water, buy 100% juice and water it down yourself. You will save BIG bucks.

Great tip! You can also control the sweetness and avoid artificial additives this way.
Yeah, it’s crazy that they can literally just water down their product, call it a feature, and sell it for the same price.
You can buy juice concentrate in large amounts and mix at home. I got so tired of carrying juice jugs upstairs.
Juice + seltzer water my friends
Man I been doing this since I became a boring ass adult, like as soon as my brain fully developed i can’t stand shit that’s too sweet.
A little juice + soda water is one of my favorite drinks.
Add a little citric acid and nonsugar sweetener if you do that to keep it from tasting too bland!
You can take it a step further by getting a home soda making kit, turn your regular water into soda water, then mix that with your juice to make home made diet soda!
Juice is pretty much garbage that people for some reason think is healthy. Sugar without fiber or fat to slow it’s uptake in the body is absolutely terrible for you.
Make your own juice by blending vegetables and then adding a small amount of fruit for taste
You could also check out something like Balloon (https://balloonwater.com), which is essentially flavored sparkling water with 4-5g of sugar per can, compared to the 38 or so you find in most sodas.
Five bucks? Okay, Rockefeller. Or wait until the “associate” at walmart throws out the fruit that has gone bad. The fruit maybe spoiled, but the seed is still good. All you have to do is harvest the seeds and plant them in soil. In about seven years they will bear fruit. Take the fruit and squish it over a container and you get fruit juice AND pulp absolutely free!
Been using frozen fruit as ice cubes for years
I usually avoid those low-cal drinks, but this trick sounds way better for both taste and health.
I gotta say, I’ve actually got a different trick that works better for me. While it’s definitely a good idea to save money by not buying diet juice, what I do is focus on the real stuff—finding fresh fruits and juicing them myself. I get to control exactly what goes in, and it often tastes way better, you know? There are these markets that have great deals on fresh produce, so it’s not expensive if you plan it right. Just blend a bunch of oranges or mix up some berries, and you’ve got something way better than anything in a store. When I’m feeling lazy or just busy, sure, I’ll buy the 100% juice from the store and maybe add a splash of water if it’s too intense, but fresh juice is just a game changer. Plus, you get all the good fiber if you leave the pulp in. It’s just something to consider if you’re looking to enjoy juice without missing out on nutrition. Anyway, that’s just what I’ve found works…

Water downed juice tastes way better. I cant stand how sweet most juices are
Buy fruits and eat them
or just don’t drink bottled or frozen juice since it’s almost the same as soda
LPT don’t buy or drink juice. Eat fruit and drink water. Juice is just sugar water.
American just discovered squash
Been doing this for all my drinks.. this is a LPT
Another great option, drink some water.
Yeah honestly watering down some Club Orange makes it taste so much better. I put 170 ml water for 330 Club, or 100ml for 500 ml Club.
Both are excellent.
I think a better lpt is don’t drink juice if you are looki mg at watering it down for health.
Just drink water instead.
…that’s not how “diet” works since the 80s/90s.
It is often made with completely different ingredients.
cranberry apple + water was the way of my childhood if not kool-aid lol
if you care about calories, avoid drinking calories in general
Drink water, don’t buy juice at all, save $4-$5.
Or or or just make the juice yourself out of fresh fruits. Guaranteed no additives or preservatives.
Or hear me out, this might blow your mind but you can even eat the fruit.
LPT don’t buy juice
What’s the ratio to DIY?
I visited Germany on a class trip in high school and my host family would drink half juice half sparkling water. It is much more refreshing that way and obviously half the calories.
Is this an American thing or something? I’ve never in my life seen or even heard of diet juice before…. I’ve seen “no sugar added” juice, but never diet or sugar free juice.
LPT live the broke person OJ life by buying SunnyD and when it gets half full, fill it with water, repeat up to 3 times.
don’t drink juice at all. it’s just as unhealthy as soda… sorry
I water down my water. Save BIG bucks!
