At Loblaws, for example, a 2.63-litre container of U.S.-based Tropicana might cost up to $13.50 but the prepared-in-Canada PC brand currently costs $6.50. At Metro, 2.63 litres of Tropicana orange juice is $13.99, but 2.5 litres of Irresistible brand is $7.69.

Canadian-owned juice brand Oasis, which sources its oranges from Brazil and bottles the juice in Quebec, costs $5.49 for 1.5 litres at Food Basics.
