Being on a budget is pretty easy to do if you’re vegan, but there are some extra tips you should be aware of to save the most money possible. When it comes down to it, plant foods are almost always cheaper than animal foods, not to mention kinder to your body and the planet. And if you don’t live near a supermarket or health food store, no need to worry! Surprisingly, your local dollar store has everything you will need to put together a delicious and nutritious meal.

Rice, legumes, vegetables, canned foods, spices, nuts, seasonings, plant milk, pasta, ramen, soup, and sauces are just some of the things you can find at the dollar store. Using these basic plant-based ingredients, you can whip together some delicious meals, with no mock meat, or expensive products needed.

Cooking nutritious and satisfying vegan meals on a budget is possible and it all starts with creating the right grocery list, planning your meals, and a little creativity!
