It may feel like store-bought juice is quite expensive, but the truth is that it’s cheaper than juicing your own. As I mentioned, you get around 2 oz of concentrated juice in one orange, even though oranges offer virtually the most among citrus fruit (certainly compared to how much juice is in limes). Even if you dilute it 50/50 with water, you’ll still need two medium oranges for a full glass of juice. You get about 5 oranges in a pound. If you only pay $3 per pound (a realistic price is approximately $5 per lb, but say you find a terrific deal), 8-oz glass of freshly-squeezed juice costs you $1.2. Compared to a $5 for an 89 fl oz bottle of orange juice, it turns out, juicing your oranges is very expensive. However, if you don’t drink a lot, it’s well worth it to squeeze your morning cup of juice.
