Eating Vegetarian/ Vegan is cheaper…

I’ve been trying to convince the world this for years, but unfortunately I do spend almost all my money on food. Not because it’s expensive to eat but because I just love food…

….I tried totalling how much I spend on food in a month for this blog, the results were to terrifying to publish…

but not eating meat is definitely a way to cut down your food bill, and not being able to splash out on that cake and ice-cream when you’re out or buy colossal blocks of cheese has got to make life cheaper. I managed on my student loan to live as a vegetarian for 3 years, away from home, without a job, even somehow surviving the long summers. 

Anyway here’s an article by a vegan student better placed to make the argument than me!

Knowing exactly what I can and cannot eat has forced me to really think about my shopping lists. As a vegan, I do not consume any animal products and try my best not to use any either. I have reacquainted myself with stereotypically boring vegetables (I love you, broccoli), and discovered delicious substitutes like polenta and seitan, a high-protein wheat-based alternative for more meaty meats such as buffalo wings and duck. – Veganism on a Student Budget, The Guardian.
