I think veganism can usually be much cheaper than vegetarianism. When I was a vegetarian, I was in the habit of buying prepared, packaged foods and quick-fixes.

Veganism gets you to start cooking and baking and preparing your own food. Preparation times can range anywhere from 5 minutes to 50, so it’s not like actually making your own food is a constant chore!

Here’s a low cost vegan meal plan: http://www.vrg.org/journal/vj2006issue2/vj2006issue2mealplans.htm

Additionally, you’ll want the main staples of your diet to be rice, beans, frozen veggies, and perhaps unprepared (not pre-marinaded) tofu, and a few fruits, as well as buying spices and some basic condiments in order to make great dishes.

Chili Doritos, almond milk, soy milk, tortillas, certain breads, tofu, agave, nachos, soy protein, boca original vegan burgers, gardein, beans, rice, etc.

i have been vegetarianfo over 2 years now and seeriously want to go vegan but there aren’t any vegan friendly options in my house besides canned vegetables, any suggestions on CHEAP vegan friendly foods would be greatly appreciated.
