    So are you committed to staying in Phoenix? There are many areas of the US with a much lower cost of living and plenty of green.

    No, I HATE Phoenix. But moving costs money and a lot of it! I don't have any money. My income is $600 a month.

    Because I live in the city, the only cactus I see is in a private yard, a park or on private property. I live quite a ways from the edge of the city where cactus would grow wild. I had to give up my car to go raw, so I can't get to the edge of the city. Even if I had a car, I couldn't afford the gas.

    My situation is quite horrible...

    When I was juicing " going to start again soon" I found carrots, apples, and celery are inexpensive and with ginger happen to be my favorite juices. Combined with kale or spinach for greener drinks.

    My Publix has a 50 lb bag of organic carrots for $25. Thats alot of juice. I love carrot apple in the am. Greener juice in the afternoon.

    I would definitely talk to your produce manager to see if you can get some deals.

    When are you starting. I need to get back on the wagon so I would love to have juicing buddy.

    Organic celery and organic apples are quite expensive here in Phoenix. Since these two produce items
    are on the "dirty dozen" list for pesticides I wouldn't want to juice or even eat non-organic.

    Juice goes directly into the blood stream, so I believe that the produce a person juices needs to be
    organic or they could actually be damaging their health.

    Traceyraw, I will let you know when I am ready to get started. It might be awhile, but I will let you know!
