Grape Juice - ALDI Natures Nectar vs. Welch's

Oh how I love grape juice and I do mean LOVE IT...and not just any old grape juice, Welch's! It's truly the only grape juice I've ever bought and I buy it bottled. I'm such a snob about my grape juice I won't even make it from concentrate!

However, in my serious penny pinching state and my new love for ALDI, I ventured out of my secure bubble in a recent trip.  I saw their brand, Nature's Nectar, on sale for a whopping $2.69 for 64 ounces! This is a great deal I thought. Especially since the cheapest place I can find Welch's is at Walmart and it nears $4 bucks and coupons for the 100% juice are few and far between. So with a little trepidation I put it in the cart.

How do these identical products measure up?

I give it 4 out of 5 stars.

Could this be disguised as Welch's? No. Keep in mind, I've gone 30 years and only drank Welch's.

The flavor was good and the quality of the product is a worthy rival for those of you who aren't as snobby about grape juice as I am.  Welch's has a very strong and dynamic flavor that stays with you long after you've finished as well as a thicker type consistency. Both of these points are irrelevant if you simply want a great quality juice for 4 cents an ounce....yes, you read that right.

I would buy it again but I will still continue to hope for $1.00 coupons and buy Welch's when I can. It does make me wonder if I should consider trying the Walmart Great Value brand which I think sells for around 3 bucks for the size container. Maybe a future post!
