VEGAN ON A BUDGET | yes, you can eat vegan for cheap!

Being vegan doesn't have to cost you a lot of money! Traditionally meat was only available to people with lots of money, or for celebrations. Why then has the vegan lifestyle become associated with rich people in the US? Well, we all probably know why, but it doesn't mean that only those with money and access can eat this way. Follow my tips to help you save money while eating a balanced, nutritious, and delicious diet that helps you thrive! Links with more info and recipes below:

Eating vegan is affordable. Even during a time when I lost my job and was receiving SNAP benefits I still ate a vegan diet and shopped at Wholefoods.

I tell my daughter all the time that it's cheaper to be vegan. One pack of $12 steak is 12 bags of lentils. You could eat 8+ meals from one bag of lentils.

A vegan diet is so affordable!! Love how you demonstrate that to everyone with this video! So helpful, thank you Jenné! 💚

Funny enough when I visited Hungary last summer I struggled finding vegan food, and some locals told me that it’s because a few decades back, vegan food was considered “poor people food” 🙊

Hey guys! Hope you're staying healthy :) with our present situation I know it's extra hard to shop around and shop in bulk. At my local sprouts and Co-op they've closed the bulk section off. BUT at sprouts you can still buy the items pre-packed for the same price, so that's nice. We're all doing our best. If you don't feel you can implement all of these tips now, that's fine. Come back to this video and these tips once the social distancing and covid-19 crisis has passed! xoxo

Am I the only one that thinks the way Jenne pronounces foods or describes makes them sound so appetizing. Her tone and pronunciation of a food or recipe makes my mouth water and I can just imagine how tasty the food or drink is 😭 Love her vividness ♥️ This video is awesome and super helpful.

Vegan food isn’t really that expensive. dairy and quality meat are expensive! The vegan food I find expensive are the specialty items that may be nice but that you don’t really need. :)

Been vegan since April 1st and I'm so darn proud of myself. 💪💪
And yes, meal prepping has been so helpful along the way. 😍💯💯 This channel has been so resourceful and I couldn't be more thankful 😍😍

Such an important message and great tips. Might I add: 1) Invest in a decent rice cooker. I use mine at least twice a day (for oatmeal, rice and lentils). If it wasn't so easy I'd probably fall back on more expensive, less healthy options. 2) Get comfortable with habits and routines. On a good week I eat the same breakfast (oatmeal with a banana) and lunch (beans and rice) every single day, and only mix up dinner a bit. Variety takes time and costs you more because you're not consolidating and bulk-buying things like grains.

People say to me "aren't you so bored eating this way?" No! I look forward to every meal, enjoy the process of cooking, value my food more, and most importantly get to enjoy good health. Keep up the great work!

I live in China, I go to the farmers market and with 60 yuan I get veggies for 2 or 3 weeks! Dry grains are also super cheap and last forever.

[meganchristi]

OMG yes! I am so tired of hearing ppl say it’s costs more to be plant based 🤦🏽‍♀️ thank you

Processed vegan foods are expensive. When you eat raw and make your own homemade milk, cheese, breads and meats are cheap and easy.

Just started a 30-day vegetarian challenge where I'm hoping to transition into veganism, so this video was EXTREMELY helpful. Thanks for all the tips!

[MissJaida]

I recently transitioned to vegetarianism and it’s sooo much cheaper. I don’t consume dairy but I do still eat eggs for protein, I’m looking to eventually transition to a completely plant based diet. While I think processed or prepackaged healthy foods can be pricey, I try to stay far away from those and I’ve found that buying nice fresh produce has been so much less of a strain on my wallet. I can literally make about 5 meals from one $3 head of cauliflower!! Thanks so much for this video; I am so excited to learn what else I can dive into and create 💙☺️

[marionkine]

Agree all your suggestions ❤ broccoli stems are absolutely delicious, carrot tops go great in breads and muffis, radish leaves makes insane pesto ... make a cupboard/fridge tour before going for grocery shopping, google recipes with what you have before buying something else. Having a freezer definitely helps 🙏

[lilstoksie]

Yes this video is so great! Going vegan has made my grocery bill so manageable. Thanks for the extra tips :)

[thehomemakinmama]

I love that you shared this! Eating vegan is totally affordable! 🌱

[jjp]

Eating whole food plantbased is the easiest way to eat and fun! I personally love it and so would everyone else. Anyone can do it 💯 remember health is wealth 💙🙏🏼

[Neurodivergent_Nat]

Oh yay! She went to Sprouts for the Bulk stuff! I work at Sprouts and it’s the best for bulk stuff!!!

[aminamohamed]

Thank you for these amazing tips! My heart and health is calling me back to vegetarianism and who knows someday soon : vegan. Your channel is amazing.
