But can a veggie juicer SAVE you money over buying
pre-made juices such as v8??

It depends on the price of such produce or if you grow your own, or
course, but if the source is cheaper or free, then yes. More important
is that you can control the content to taste, health requirements, etc.
You can also reduce the salt or eliminate it to taste or health
requirements (I generally dislike salt, so I am a proponent of salt
reduction whenever possible).

Point taken

I didn't fully understand the difference between a
VitaMix and juicer.

I thought they both did the same thing..... i.e.
liquefy whole veggie..... and that Vita Mix was just
more expensive version of juicer.

However, the Vitamix would be more cost effective in
that it uses the WHOLE veggie whereas a juicer would
extract only juice and discard the pulp so would not be
as cost effective in the "use" of the veggie

Now that I clear on that thanks to people here.... I'm
not sure a juicer would be more economical over say
just EATING the veggies..... but as you say above it
would make healthier juices with no salt and such
.
