Grapefruit juice is up to $4 a bottle now, and I really just can't afford to feed my addiction anymore. I couldn't even afford it when it was $3 a bottle, let alone $4. Heck, it could drop to $1 a bottle and it'd still be too expensive for my meager budget. So now I'm trying to wean myself off of it altogether by drinking diluted lemonade. It probably doesn't sound very appetizing but seriously, I think it's the best-tasting drink next to my beloved grapefruit juice. I just add a couple of tablespoons of Minute Maid lemonade to a tall glass of cold water, and top it off with a couple ice cubes. The heavy, sugary taste of straight lemonade is just too much for me; this is much more like French Limonade, only with water instead of soda.
I know, ice cold lemonade seem a little out of place when most people are stocking up on hot cocoa, but I like my beverages cold, even in autumn.. even in the middle of winter :)

Why is Grapefruit juice $4 where you are? I buy Florida's Natural Ruby Red Grapefruit Juice with Calcium for $2.19 at Market Basket. But I don't buy the big jugs instead I buy the quart in the refrigerated section. So maybe double that would be $4.38 so I guess yeah...
I love Grapefruit juice and I've been good about only having 1/2 a glass a day for breakfast. In the evenings, I dilute some limeade with water and have that. I get the Newman's Own Limeade which is delicious!
I know what you mean about drinking cold drinks in the Fall and Winter. I need my iced tea or iced chai latte with soy in the cold months and the hot months. I can't drink coffee and I can't stomach hot tea. So cold it is. Plus cold drinks are so satisfying!
I'm the opposite - I drink hot liquids year round, even when it's 110 degrees out, I'm still drinking hot tea. LOL!
And boo on the stores for pricing grapefruit juice out of existence.
Sometimes I find it's cheaper to buy a bag of grapefruits and squeeze em. I need to find a recipe or something for all the pulp though.
