Frozen concentrated juice?

I was just thinking of ways to save money on groceries, and one of the things that occurred to me was buying frozen concentrated juice, the kind that comes in a tube, instead of fresh cartons all the time.  But I don't think I have ever seen it in the stores in the UK, and I didn't find it on any of the online grocery store websites.

Is this strictly an American thing?  Or do I need to go somewhere besides Tesco, Sainsbury's, etc.?

I've never seen it here unfortunately. The closest thing is 'squash' which is really a different thing altogether.

I have bought it here once or twice, I only ever saw it at one supermarket, maybe Sainsburys, but it was a long time ago.

To save money, I have started to buy the tetrapacks of juice, not the ones in the refridgerated aisle. They cost about .88p for a box, and the quality for things like tropical or apple juice, is pretty much the same.

They definitely USED to have it...my husband was just reminiscing about it the other day.  This was 20 years ago though.  I looked for it last week for a recipe and couldn't find it at Waitrose.  I didn't look any further than that.  Sorry not more helpful!

I bought some at Costco some time back, don't know if they still have it or not, will try to remember to look when I go this week

I've never dealt with squash, personally, but from what the British boyfriend tells me, it should work for your purposes (that is, drinking, rather than using in a recipe).  I've no idea about how it compares in price, though, so you'll just have to check that at the store.  I just buy the shelf-stable packs, like racheeeee, but that's less to do with cost (the price for fresh seems about the same to me, typically) and more to do with not needing fridge space!

Squash really isn't the same thing as frozen concentrated juice, the frozen stuff is like real juice, Squash just seems more sugary and fake in my opinion.

But this is from the girl who spends $100 on Crystal Light Iced Tea every trip to the US

Squash is completely different from frozen concentrate, since frozen concentrate has the texture and consistency of juice once you make it up (and squash is just liquid-y fake stuff).  For instance, frozen concentrate OJ has pulp in it.

Im pretty sure there is no frozen concentrated juice here... i've never seen it.
Squash is no substitute... it's a juice-like drink, but only has about 10% fruit juice in it, if you're lucky.

Someone mentioned the tetrapaks... Lidl have super-cheap tetra-paks of some amazing juices, and they also have 100% fruit smoothie drinks for super cheap as well.

Yeah, I guess the only problem with the tetra-paks is that they are harder to recycle and take up more space in the shopping bag, which can be a problem when you are lugging everything around on foot or the metro!

I used to buy some store brand (Albertsons? Safeway? I don't remember which) that came in a waxed paper carton that you could put in with the cardboard for recycling.  I also remember seeing some brand that started selling them in plastic packs that didn't need to be frozen.  I wonder why they don't sell it in cans, like fruit or soda?

Or indeed, why they don't sell it in the UK much?  Do you suppose it's just because the British seem to like canned goods less than Americans?  DH once told me that it was seen as a bit lower class to use canned stuff.

Gosh, I must be really low class, I use tons of stuff in tins! My area now recycles tetrapaks with the paper recycling, so while the technology is new to recycle them, as far as I know you can put them out with the recycling. We go through tons of cans of stuff and juiceboxes with a toddler around the house.
