>I found a gallon juice jug for Organic All Natural Apple juice.
>Pastuerized, no preserves. Went in and found same item on shelf, $6.99

I had the same problem, when I started making wine, and solved it the
same way. Trader Joe's sold apple juice for $4/gallon in glass jugs,
so I made a lot of apple wine. As the apple wine found it's way into
bottles, I started fermenting other things like raspberries,
blueberries, plums, grapes, welch's concentrates, mead, and even sake.
