Question:


Vegetarian Resource Group (www.vrg.org) also has some good information. You can order a book called “Simply Vegan,” which has recipes based on ingredients found in most grocery stores, from their site. It’s perfectly okay to buy frozen vegetables–in some cases, they’re more nutritious than fresh because they’re frozen at the site with the nutrients intact.

This one is a forum for raw vegans, and everyone is eager to exchange information, especially about how to save money.

My girlfriend is currently using food credit as well and we both shop at our local co-op which has many options for veg*ns. You might want to see if there is a co-op, Wholefoods, and or health food store in your area that takes food credit. You’d be surprised at who does.
My girlfriend is also able to use them at the farmers market where usually we find the best prices on fresh produce and also supports local economy in the most efficient way possible.
Finally being vegan is about the cheapest option around. Almost every restaurant we check out the veg*n dish is the cheapest on the menu. Also it takes 16 pound of grain to get one pound of beef so obviously meat prices will be higher than grain.
My suggestion is to get a vegan cook book and learn at least one recipe a week. Get some tofu, tempeh, or setein and add them to dishes like stir fries, pastas, fajitas, and more.
Don’t be afraid to try new things like quinoa which is a complete protein. I usually mix it in with my rice. Other good sources of protein include, tofu, setein, tempeh, nuts, beans, brocolli (40% protein), and spirulina (high in iron and b12).
It may take a while to adjust as evolving ones diet is a lifetime process.
Best of wishes on your new journey.
