Free Ocean Spray at CVS

LJWorld.com weblogs Shop Talk with Jenn and Julie

Posted by Jenn Hethcoat May 20, 2012 at 9:46 a.m.

At our house we don't let the kids drink soda, they don't get other crazy flavored drinks unless it is a special occasion so they are left with juice. Unfortunately for them, they get that watered down and only twice a day. The rest of the time its good ol' water.

Three kids and two adults still go through a lot of juice so I jump on a good sale I jump on it and stock up. When I see FREE juice...well that's even better!

In this week's CVS flyer you will see all kinds of great sales, but in my opinion this is the best one:

B1G1 Free Ocean Spray 64oz. Juice Drink

Combine that with this printable: Free Ocean Spray Cherry Juice Drink when you buy One Cranberry Ocean Spray Juice Drink

and you've got two free 64oz. bottles of juice.

These printables go very quickly, if you aren't able to get the coupon you can still get the BOGO deal at CVS ... not a bad deal!

Happy Shopping!

Life in that house sounds unbearable.

I can understand no soda for behavioral or dental problems, but watering down the juice? Asinine.

Katara 12 months ago

Juice can also cause dental problems. It can also spike blood sugar levels.

No not asinine, its called good parenting! They don't need the empty calories, or the high doses of sugar that pop and juice provide. Its not good for their teeth or teaching them healthy eating habits. I give my 3 year old a piece of fruit, not a glass of fruit flavored sugar water.

That's why you buy the 100% juice, with no sugar added. Also, like my mom used to say, they're going to lose those teeth anyway, so a little sugar won't hurt!

Katara 12 months ago

It isn't the sugar in juice that causes the decay. It is the acidic nature of the juice that weakens tooth enamel.

And tooth decay in baby teeth can affect the health of the permanent teeth.

asixbury 12 months ago

Sugar never did anything to my permanent teeth. I actually have quite nice teeth and I grew up drinking soda (on occasion) and cool-aid. Let kids be kids and enjoy their sugary snacks before they get old and it all goes to their hips!

Katara 12 months ago

That's great that sugar did nothing to your teeth.

You must have missed the part about it not being the sugar that caused the problem but rather the acidic nature of juice that weakens the tooth enamel (which, of course makes it prone to decay).

asixbury 12 months ago

Okay, the acidic juice didn't hurt my teeth. I can see how parents would like to limit the amount of juice kids drink for this reason.

Katara 12 months ago

I have a friend whose daughter had to have dental surgery at 3 because of decay to the 2 front baby teeth. I am not exactly sure of the procedure but her child now has dentures at 11 (I don't know what they are called for kids) because the baby tooth decay killed off the permanent teeth that were to come in later.

asixbury 12 months ago

I think its called dental holders or spacers, which are used to prevent the back teeth from moving forward. The kid probably had thin or weak enamel to begin with, so the acidity did a number on her teeth. Like I said before, I can see why parents would be concerned for this reason.

RoeDapple 12 months ago

Free Ocean Spray? Well at least they are getting it closer to its true value. When they pay me to take it home and flush it then I might be interested.

Kids, do not dispair! There is life after childhood!

Keith 12 months ago

You may as well let them drink soda, the ingredients in that 'juice drink' aren't any better.

Word.

Oceanspray Cherry Juice 8 oz: 110 calories; 35 mg sodium; 28g sugar Coca-Cola 8 oz: 100 calories; 30 mg sodium; 27g sugar

When looking at those numbers Coca-cola would be the better choice of the two.

AlligatorMama 12 months ago

Soda and other sugary drinks are NOT needed in anyone's life, let alone in growing kids. Why waste hundreds of calories a day on drinks? I know this family well and life in their house is a lot of fun! We do milk, water and watered down juice in our house as well. Sprite occasionally on pizza or popcorn nights, otherwise they don't need it , and neither of my kids seem to mind. Please find me a pediatrician that will tell you soda and other full-sugared drinks are a GOOD choice for your children...because the pediatricians I worked for will say no way!

Thanks for posting the good deal Jenn!!

The cost in fruit to fill up one glass was astounding. It cost us roughly 3-4 times to make our own juice than it did to buy it.

... and then there was the clean up of the machine.
