I Just Bought Noni Juice at Costco

I just bought a bottle of Noni juice at Costco for around $15. That's a great price, but you may not want to hear this if you are part of the Xango, Noni, Mona Vie frenzy going on out there.

These MLM companies are selling it for $30 or more, when you include cost for shipping and tax. What are people thinking? I asked about this problem to Albert N., a successful distributor from another company who sells juice from the Mangosteen fruit.

He said, "We process it very uniquely to capture all of the phytonutrients in the skins." And, he claims that people who have stopped his juice and started the cheaper stuff lose the healthful benefits. Not sure about that one. It's a tough sale, if you ask me. I spoke with a couple of people about this issue. Here were their comments:

First Guy: David S. told me, "Yeah, my friend is into this company where they sell this juice. I don't want to do that. Why am I going to buy something for $30/bottle when I can buy it at the store for less than 20 bucks?"

Second Guy: Jay M., my friend in Utah says, "Yeah, they want to get a patent but they can't. You can't patent juice. They want you to believe that their juice is different, but I'm telling you it's the same thing. Therefore, they have to sell you on the hype of the money you can make in the business."

You can decide for yourself. But make no mistake, there are juice wars going on out there. It's too much competition -- why not find something no one else has. And you if you really want some juice, pick it up at Costco next to the 20lb. bag of Cheetos!
