The other day I read an article about how to be a vegan on a budget. I was hoping to get some great tips like which great vegan staples like Goddess dressing and almond milks that are on sale. No! This article gave suggestions on making friends with wealthy vegans that would feed you at least once a week. It went so far as to suggest dumpster diving outside Whole Foods and TJs...I'm broke, not homeless!
Today I ate whole wheat shreds (like Shredded Wheat) with almond milk for breakfast. Lunch was a sandwich with Veganaise, spicy mustard and Tofurkey. Fresh strawberries for a snack :) and brown rice with scrambled tofu, broccoli and Goddess dressing for dinner. My dinner was mostly made from food purchased at Costco. I bought 5 lbs of brown rice that is in 1.25 lb pouches. I bought 4 lbs of organic pre-cooked, frozen broccoli that comes in 10 individual pouches. Costco also had a box of three 19 oz. packages of tofu, each package has 4 blocks. I used one block and scrambled it. I was able to mix everything together and divide it in half. This "recipe" makes enough for two servings, giving me leftovers for tomorrow :). The $15 I spent on these items at Costco will last a minimum of 8 days, coming in just under $2 per meal. That's being vegan on a budget!
Now I need to learn how to be an extreme couponer!
