I agree that you have a creative solutions and tips in selecting a vegan food. As a mother its a challenge on how to select the healthier but cheap food for my child. This is a very great idea to all.

I agree..biggest saving being medical bills. If you’re never sick or hardly ever sick, then there should be little medical to pay.

Whole Foods is quite expensive, but I enjoy going there. I don’t shop for veggies there…I’m usually getting hair products and supplements. The DeKalb county international farmers market is a great place to shop. Wide selection!

Take care,

Evelyn

I guess you’re right about the Farmer’s Market because I go to the grocery stores and Whole Foods, therefore it HAS BEEN EXPENSIVE for me.

Thanks for this post, I needed it!

Ha ha, I love the quote “whole food will take your whole paycheck”, it is so true! Made me chuckle.

Thanks!

I totally agree! Location definitely makes a difference.

It is sad that the certain foods are not available in poorer communities. Some people do not realize that they can make requests for better foods and plus when people only know one way, they think that’s the only way.

Thanks for chiming in!

Take care,

Evelyn

It can be expensive just like have have mentioned. A doctor once told me that, “Whole Foods will take your Whole Paycheck.” He was telling the truth! :)
That’s why I try to do what you have mentioned. It really does save money.

Our health is precious and if we don’t pay now we’ll pay later. With the later probably costing us more than we could ever imagine. Thanks for sharing that!

Take care,

Evelyn

I can think of a few areas where it’s not cheaper to be Vegan since the veggie options aren’t as plentiful. A few times yearly, I scout out some of the foods available in the poorer communities. The selections, in many of those areas I’ve visited aren’t the best, and simple things that many of us take for granted (fresh fruit, veggies) are few or nonexistent.

I am vegetarian since birth and partial vegan for a few years (only eating yogurt and occasional cheese), but we drink soy milk and vegan sugar. Buying organic and vegan can be expensive if I buy it from whole foods and pre packaged food. I tend to buy raw veggies, grains, flours and fruits and cook things as I generally love cooking and it is not so expensive. But some things are worth spending money on, isn’t our health worth it?

I agree with you!

Well, I’m not familiar with the site. But I did do a post about vegans / raw vegans needing to supplement. I have a friend that stopped by and responded on that post. She shared how her iron, B-12 and a few other things were low. She actually had to have a blood transfusion. I believe in supplementation, but I also encourage people to have their blood tested to make sure they know where they stand. That’s the only way we’ll know.

That’s great! I don’t believe a person has to be vegan to be healthy. I do believe people should increase the amounts of plant-based foods they consume. Here in the U.S. (Standard American Diet) not many people eat fresh organic fruits and vegetables. If they would simply increase these foods, I think they would feel better and see a difference in their bodies.

That’s great! I love Farmers Markets! You can really find some great deals.

Thanks for stopping by and chiming in!

Take care,

Evelyn
