How can I spend $120 a month on eating healthy(veganism)? (sell, price)

[iShine86]

I'm trying to become vegan on a budget. Is it possible to be a vegan on a $120 a month budget?

You'll get many replies but just think buying in bulk...rice, beans. Fresh or frozen vegetables. Same with fruits. There's also a vegan thread.

Of course!!! Rice, beans, potatoes, veggies... they are all very CHEAP!!!

1) Find a Produce Liquidator (sells culls / outdated from Stores)
2) Buy in bulk (from producers) and store / preserve food
3) Prepare your own food (don't buy prepared food). There are many vegan youtube channels showing how to do this.

While I am not happy Costco 'Power Greens' have doubled in price... That still is only $10 / month for a LOT of greens!

Dandelions....pick dandelions from your neighbors yard for then and make salads....they'll appreciate it and it's free food for you!

$4 a day, good luck with that for a high quality diet.

Myself, I spend about $200 to $300 a month on food........eating a quality diet is well worth it to me.

Interesting stories of how people spend on their food.

I adhere to a plant-based diet for half of that a month.
Lots of beans, lots of discounted whole wheat pasta, lots of rice, no-sodium peanut butter (if you have access to a Trader Joes, they have the cheapest no-salt peanut butter in the market [their in-house brand]), lots of veggies, absolutely no processed vegan burgers or sausages or any of those fake meats (they are not only expensive, but have too much salt and too many preservatives)...

You really cant, eating healthy isnt cheap and I know you would get tired or beans, quiona, rice and vegetables all the time.


$120 for breakfast lunch and dinner is near impossible, as it cost almost $100 a month alone to make smoothies for breakfast, since almsot milk isnt cheap
