Is there a Raw Vegan Green Juice you can buy at the grocery store?!

Any juice that is sold at the grocery store has been pasteurized, and as such, is not raw- including "Naked" products. Check eBay and craigslist for second hand juicers.
Any pre-packaged juice you purchase at the supermarket will have been pasteurized, so it will not be "raw". If you have a Wild Oats or Whole Foods market near where you live, they *do* have juice bars in both places, where they will fresh-juice for you... but of course, you're paying a premium for that as well. A small glass of juice will easily run you $3-$4 at a juice bar.
Economically, it makes much more sense to juice your own fruits and vegetables in the long-run. For example... if you *were* to buy a Naked juice every morning... that's a good $3 a morning for a small bottle that doesn't have what you want in it (not to mention the excessive plastic waste). However, were you to purchase the raw fruits and vegetables themselves (search out any local produce markets in your area! Food co-ops, etc.), and get a decent juicer (WalMart and Target each carry some in the $50 range and even lower that are actually quite good quality), it would likely run you less than $1.50 per day for a larger glass of juice, that is raw, and that includes exactly what you WANT to be eating.
I do understand that it can *seem* much more expensive to DIY (especially those first few days when you're figuring out just how much and of which fruits/veggies to purchase, etc.). But in all reality, when purchasing these pre-made products, you're actually paying much MORE for a lesser-quality juice than you could produce at home.
Heck- you could even look into growing some of your OWN products to juice... a window-garden or small indoor growing system can provide a huge amount of greens, wheatgrass, or really, whatever you like. :)
