How to Eat Vegan On A Budget

Eat vegetables and fruits that are in season (they’ll be cheaper)

Buy from your local farmer’s market (again, cheaper!)

Buy in bulk (grains, legumes, pasta etc.)

Be creative (sometimes you can make something amazing out of nothing. I’ve done this way too many times to count.)

Stop buying unnecessary junk food (and make it yourself! Things like chips, crackers, granola bars, etc. It’ll be healthier as well!)

Take a break from processed meat alternatives and stick to whole foods.

Stop eating out! (this is a given for any person on a budget)

Make your own veggie burgers!

Cook in bulk

Make your own vegetable broth (this will save you so much money plus it will taste WAY better than the store bought ones.)

Buy frozen vegetables and fruits (not as good as fresh but still nutritious!)

Try making big one pot meals (soups, stews etc.)

Stop buying canned legumes! (they’re way cheaper dried!)

Check Amazon (they have good deals on bulk items and spices.)

Start your own garden (even a tiny one can makes things cheaper.)

Make your own non-dairy milk (all you need is a blender! Thanks, bloodandcrust for the tip!)

I’m sure I’m not the only one who has been asked this questions TONS of times so I put together a quick little list about things that I do to eat vegan on a budget. If you have any tips or tricks, message me and I’ll add them to the list! I’ll post a link to this post on my sidebar for easy access along with the VEGAN 101 post.

Here are more extensive list on: What’s in season?
For NYC residents, here’s a link to farmer’s markets here: Greenmarkets
For other states: USDA National Farmers Market Directory

Also, on a side note I did not draw the veggies or anything in the chart, I used Photoshop brushes! Click on the image to see it bigger!

nprfreshair:

Ravi Shankar has died. The great sitar player and composer brought eastern music west. Here he is in 1967 on the Dick Cavett show. At the beginning of the clip you’ll see George Harrison, who studied for a time with Shankar.

You Haven’t Seen the Last of Me | Cher

Feeling this one by Cher right now. Not sure about the rest of you out there but for me its been one hell of a crazy Fall season in terms of wrestling face to face with my personal demons. Fortunately, I can see light emerging out of the darkness. And already can look back with gratitude for the gifts this growth period has bestowed. One realization I felt today was that the struggle of breaking habits is often hidden from us. There are so many self help guides proclaiming the ultimate how to… but so often breaking old habits and patterns remains an elusive dream. Hope I can explore this idea further in the future in this forum.

Wishing everyone Peace, Love and Happiness!
