This juice demands a juicer—a piece of equipment many households don't own—which changes the math considerably; if you have one, great, but if not, budget for a blender plus straining cloth or a $60+ investment. The ten-minute stated time ignores washing and chopping the eight vegetables, realistically adding another 5–8 minutes. The ingredient list itself is straightforward at most Charlotte grocers (Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Walmart, Kroger), though watercress can be hit-or-miss and may force a second stop; beets and carrots are cheap and local here, keeping per-serving cost modest at around $1.50–$2.00 if you own the equipment. This is a same-night drink with no keeping power—fine for a quick breakfast but not a meal, and it won't stretch into leftovers.
