Veganism
on a Budget:
Shopping Lists, Meal Plans & Convenience Food Companies
As vegans, one common concern we hear during outreach is that veganism is expensive, with alternatives often costing more than their animal-based counterparts. This perception is especially prevalent amid the current cost of living crisis, where individuals and families alike are navigating tighter and tighter budgets. However, we aim to demonstrate that while some alternatives may indeed carry a higher price tag than animal products, the core of a vegan lifestyle is both affordable and healthier. After all, some of the poorest countries in the world are largely plant-based precisely BECAUSE it’s cheaper.
So, we've compiled comprehensive shopping lists, meal plans, and recommendations for companies offering vegan ready meals and meal kits, catering to a wide range of needs from families of four to budget-conscious students. Our resources show that adopting a vegan diet can be both economical and accessible to everyone, dispelling the myth that veganism is inherently costly.
