Here at peta2, we like to bust vegan myths, and we’re setting out to prove once and for all that veganism is cheap. Can veganism be expensive? Duh! If you live solely on processed foods, then of course your grocery bill is going to shoot up. But guess what? If you were eating animal products, your bill would go up too. We’re here to show you that there’s a whole lot of other stuff you can eat that’s yummy and cheap!
For the next three weeks, we’re gonna hook you up with a $3 dish each day—meaning that dish can be made for $3 or less. Sweet, right?
To kick things off, I bring you a fave from PETA’s Vegan College Cookbook: ‘Pimp My Ramen’ Noodles!
What you need:
Total: $.32!
Crush the ramen and place in a large bowl. Cover with water and stir in the seasoning packet. Nuke for 4 minutes, remove from the microwave, add the peanut butter and chili sauce, and mix well. Eat.
Note: If your mouth can’t handle the heat, you might want to cut down on the chili sauce! And if you want to, go ahead and throw some bean sprouts on your ramen—pictured was just for fanciness’s sake.
So there you have it—a delish dish for only $.32! What to do with the extra $2.68? I recommend getting your fruits and veggies on! Add some nuked frozen broccoli florets after you mix in the peanut butter and chili sauce, and eat an apple or banana on the side.
Christina will be hitting you up with another $3 meal tomorrow, so check back!

Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.
Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.
Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ
I'm tall, a geek, nacho - obsessed, I love sewing and Cath Kidston, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.)
Jersey girl now I'm all country.
I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!
I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.

I am Angela. When I am not helping animals I am listening to music, reading, or playing video games. My spirit animal is a fox and I love nature. What else is there to know? Want to know anything about me, need advice or anything message me :)

Hey Samantha, Top Ramen’s Oriental flavor is vegan. You may be thinking of Maruchan’s Oriental Ramen, which is not vegan.

I made this before I moved on campus since my sister got me the book for my birthday/going to college and it was awesome, except it’s impossible to get the Top Ramen brand in Potsdam, only the Maruchan which is not Veg…so I can’t make it here…
