As a child my grandma would often make me fresh carrot or orange juice, which led to me becoming a bit of a juice snob. Unfortunately, I now love fresh, crisp carrot juice which tends to air on the pricey side. Its common knowledge that doing things yourself is cheaper because of the labor cost that tends to be factored into the price. I decided to take this and challenge it. Is it actually cheaper to make your own carrot juice verse buying it pre-juiced? The results may shock you.
Buying it already juiced cost break down - $6.50 = 52 oz
Juicing at home cost break down - 5 lb bag of whole carrots = $3.50 = 24 oz!
The time it took to peel the carrots and to set up and clean the juicer was a little over 45 minutes and the outcome was about half the ounces, overall it doesn't seem worth it. As for me from now on I'm just going to buy it juiced at the store
