Vegan-inspired diets have greatly increased over the last decade, and most of it is thanks to mainstream cookbooks and brands that have dedicated themselves to plant-based products. Below are tips on how you can shop for vegan food on a tight budget.
Make Your Own Meals
Takeout food is much more expensive compared to self-made meals. Prepare meals or snacks in advance and take them with you in a lunch box if you’re stepping outside. By so doing, you’ll have full control over what goes into your meals without depending on restaurant meals that might have shady ingredients.
Embrace Whole Foods
Such foods are full of essential nutrients your body requires. They should be the base of your diet. The good thing about unprocessed foods is that they’re cheaper. Ensure you base your recipe around these low-prices yet super healthy and nutrient-dense goodies.
Buy Food in Bulk
Buying in bulk usually guarantees much better value for the cost than purchasing in small quantities. Grocery stores let you load up on items for a very good price since you’re not buying for packaging or a brand name.
Prepare Simple Recipes
Simple doesn’t translate to boring. Look for flavorful ingredients and spices to complement your base, especially starch. Avoid stuffing your recipe with lots of ingredients for easy digestion.
