The Price of Orange Juice and Beer


At the Aldi's in the Galway Shopping Center, orange juice sells for $1.29 for approximately the metric equivalent of a quart. In St. Louis, juice costs $1.37 for a half gallon. Given that the dollar is trading at 87 cents against the euro, you can imagine what the price of living is here.

Beer prices are even more pricey. A case of Budweiser, which is made by Guinness under a contract with Anheuser-Busch of St. Louis, costs more than €37.00 for a 24-can case.
