It was far more economical for me to just buy V-8 instead of trying to make my own. That is not to say that a juicer is useless. Far from it. I've made a number of successful concoctions with it.
The thrill of it wore off in about a week or two. They are such a pain in the ass to clean. Mine is in a cabinet somewhere and has been since. I need to break it out again one of these days.

The is absolutely no comparison of the nutritional content of a V8 and that of juice that was extracted with an auger type juicer. Buy organic veggies from smaller farmers. I go to various farmers markets. I get black kale, scots kale, russian kale, red beats, cilantro, parsley, mint, carrots, spinach, etc. Like I said, get a Greenstar juicer. You don't need the expensive one I have, the Greenstar is like $400-$500 and does an amazing job. The quality of juice it puts out blows away the infomercial junk.
Food combining is also important. Lots of people like to mix fruit juice with their veggie juice. This is a no no.
