I'm on a fixed income in FL and love the prices and produce at Aldi... but sure wish they had more simple vegan options so I could do all my shopping in one place. I'm not talking about (pricey) vegan specialty products, just simple things like... VEGETABLE broth, tofu and tempeh, plant based yogurt, more grains and legumes, that sort of thing. They will get some very occasionally, but can't rely on it, frustrating. Ethic markets are good options too, none are as meat heavy as US markets and offer plenty of plant based choices. I wish there was a grocery store that sold NO animal products... I hate having to see all the mass slaughter on every isle!

Grocery Outlet, a west coast chain that specializes in overstock, surprisingly has vegan products often at great prices.

Costco has a great selection of vegan products; you can't just buy a single can or individual box, but if you're making the effort to go out to buy vegan food during the pandemic, you're not going often and you might as well stock up. I do.

I shop at the local Ralph which is a Kroger affiliate and I agree they have Broad and lots of organic stuff. They still have we're pushing too much of the new plant-based processed foods. The salt will continue to go up the sugar will continue to go up and eventually it'll be the same plant-based garbage. Sorry to be negative but it is only Whole Food plant-based and right now there's not enough money in it for them. For me to judge them I look at how many things like can beans and tomatoes they are offering with no salt added

Whoever asked about the problem where they didn’t have menstrual periods… just watched some programs from Nick Polizzi called Proven and in one of the shows it had someone with this issue for years and she was completely helped through acupuncture.

Teresa Tam, one of the members of WHO is supposed to be an infectious disease expert. So they shouldn't need to walk any bad information back.
