Until about May this year, I'd buy the juice at Lidl: £1.60 for a litre bottle. If the shelf was empty I'd try again in a day or two. Or occasionally go next door to Morrisons and pay their £2.
Note that I don't count the so-called "smooth" version. I'd rather drink lower-grade (and cheaper) juice than have all the goodness removed.
But now Lidl's shelves seem to be perpetually empty. I've found the juice there exactly once in the last three months. Slightly more frequently at Morrisons: enough to keep me in intermittent supply, just mildly annoyed at the 25% higher price.
But now it seems to have vanished permanently not just from Lidl but also Morrisons.. Today after visiting both and coming away empty-handed, I finally bit the bullet and paid Coop's price. At £3 I definitely resent it, but what's the choice? Even the fresh oranges I've sometimes squeezed at home don't seem to have been in evidence of late

From £1.60 to £3 in a few months. But no actual price rises, just rationing by empty shelves. Grrr ...
