Amway Juices

I thought I'd put in something about the one Amway product that I didn't mind - the juices. There were 2 choices, tropical and berry. Both not too bad, but I preferred the berry. If we had to buy, buy, buy to bring up our PV so our upline could meet their goals then the juice was the one thing I could tolerate my Ambot for buying. Barely tolerate. They cost around $30 for 12 tins. We're talking tiny tins - 8oz.

Extremely poor value!

I just bought a half gallon (64 ounce) of well known national brand's tropical juice for .97 cents. Let's say I bought a gallon for $1.94. That's more ounces than in the 12 pack of the Amway juice (total 96 ounces). My brand tastes better than the Amway juice and for a fraction of the cost.

Its a no brainer what's a better value to buy. Better price, better taste.

When my husband was still an Ambot he would have countered with some silly argument about why should he buy a similar product from someone else's store when he can buy from his own store.

My argument would have been if you're a fucking idiot and price your products too high people are going to shop elsewhere.

He never got the full picture that Amway set the price and not him. If I could have bought the 12 pack of Amway juices for $3, that would have been a much better deal, but he couldn't set the price to be competive with a well known brand and take a huge loss out of his pockets.

So he continued to parrot his upline and jabber on about nutritional value which the name brands usually outperform Amway on anyway. Amway sells a juice that costs 10 times as much as their competitors? Scam! Run for the hills. Go for the best deal!

So I just wanted to clarify that Amway actually does sell one beverage that doesn't taste like piss, but its priced too high for me to want to purchase it, and comes in a puny 8 ounce serving.
