Why would it be more expensive, I've never noticed any low sodium
products priced differently from the regular products... perhaps you
should shop elsewhere. V8 is way over priced anyway, as are all
tomato juices... it's very easy to make your own from tomato paste
(that's the base for all tomato juice), there is no salt added to any
brand of tomato paste. You can make a better tasting version by
tailoring the seasonings to your own liking - you can buy dehy
vegetables and make your own - cheap, you can also control the
viscosity. I never buy tomato juice (why carry those heavy cans/
bottles home), it's so simple to make it myself, and at less than half
the store price, all I need is a can opener and 30 seconds.

Did you know that V8 contains beet juice... I always have lots because
I like canned beets. I have dehy onions, bell pepper (red n' green),
parsley, powdered celery seed, carrots, celery too. But I don't try
to copy V8 exactly, I prefer to make a tomato vegetable juice to my
own taste, for one I like a bit of dillweed and garlic powder... I
like to add a few drops of hot sauce. a squeeze of fresh lemon, and
finish up with a few ounces of vodka.

To a glass of plain tomato juice add a tsp of canned tuna water and
it's darned close to Clamato.

I have most of the dehy veggie ingredients with my spices, I'm sure
most people who cook do... not gonna miss the lettuce and water cress
juice.
