TOP 10 TIPS: HOW TO SAVE MONEY ON A VEGAN DIET ♥ Cheap Lazy Vegan

[@silveryohko]

I worked in a meat products factory a few years ago I remember packing the same sausages in many different packages. Some were for a hard-discount brand, others for store brands and a famous brand name You don't always get better quality the higher you pay

[@Tazzles92]

I used expense as an excuse to not go vegan for yeaaarrrssss but I went grocery shopping yesterday and barely spent 140 bucks. I got a ton of food and it will more than likely last me two weeks if not the rest of the month. every thing I bought was completely vegan. I was so proud of myself!!! frozen veggies and canned/dry food are a God send. ♡♡

[@CheapLazyVegan]

YAAAAASSS!

[@Tazzles92]

also meal planning is a great way to stick to a budget and grocery list so you don't go crazy buying a ton of stuff you don't need or will use. ♡

[@CheapLazyVegan]

great tip!!! =)

[@sotney]

In Finland vegetarian/vegan foods have started to become more popular --> the price can go down because there's more demand!

[@nikastrovs1214]

That's good to hear! I was in Finland 3 years ago and there wasn't that many food options available. I'm hoping to come again next year and if it's like you said, then it will be awesome! :D

[@CheapLazyVegan]

yayyyy

[@Twocityvegans]

Shop at Aldi. My key to buying cheap groceries

[@ellamaek]

I can get so much produce there, a whole cart for less than $50. Aldi rocks. I wish that they didn't use so much packaging though.

[@veganelliepies2862]

Two City Vegans we're finally getting one here and I couldn't be more excitedddd

[@hannahhaefner1964]

I don't have an Aldi where I live in Northern California but I wish I did from everything I've read.

[@ncprice777]

I also freeze my nuts, grains & beans for longterm storage.

[@bluemoon5766]

N C Price good tip never thought to freeze nuts and beans

[@thedancingsnail9443]

Yes! Starches are fantastic. I love starches.

[@CheapLazyVegan]

YES :D

[@cathy7746]

I love the lip color you use. It matches your hair perfectly!

[@SoniaElsie]

I just checked my subscribers and saw that you were subscribed to me! Thank you so much, I love your videos! ❤️

[@amylopez8108]

Sonia! I love youuuu & stella

[@CheapLazyVegan]

aww thanks my love

[@iheartmac2010]

you don't live in London... are you back in Canada..I've been out of the loop..

[@lizlavender922]

Sonia, the bb!!!!!!

[@PhoenixRising87]

Aldi is great; everything there is pretty much store brand and pretty cheap (I got a big bag of powdered stevia for just 4 bucks; it costs at least 6 bucks to buy the same amount of Truvia). Trader Joe's and Wegmans also have a lot of store brand vegan staples (not to mention they label their vegan products; very convenient). And yes, everyone, please learn to love starches! Rice, potatoes, oats, and whole grain pasta are great, cheap, and can be used a lot of different ways! I'm not the biggest fan of meal planning (I never stick to a plan), though I'm the kind of person who's content to eat cereal for dinner every night so that advice is probably not for me. Great advice all around!

[@kb9847]

I so agree about buying "no name" products. The odd time I don't like how it tastes so I go back to a name brand, but it's always worth trying the cheaper option first. Great video Rose!! :)

[@bluemoon5766]

The Helpful Assistant agree for me it's chereos

[@ulaland]

Rose! I agree with all the tips - buy basics, cook by yourself, prepare in advance - so you save up for special occasions in restaurants :)

[@elissaa2243]

you're always so helpful :) im transitioning to veganism and have already give up all dairy, eggs and red meat. my ultimate goal is becoming a true vegan. your videos are super helpful.

[@CheapLazyVegan]

awesome!! good luck with your journey

[@CheriseDaly]

Unrelated to the topic of this video, but... Your hair and makeup look friggin awesome here!

[@justjoelee]

These are some awesome tips! Great video! :)

[@lindanikiel4221]

In Poland we have so many other cheap starches... Buckwheat, barley, Millet...

[@CheapLazyVegan]

YES!!

[@deemsterx]

Can you explain how you plan your meals and mealprep?

[@kestrelravensong6056]

Bonus tip: In the US at least, hit up that bulk food aisle in Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Fresh Market, etc. Just because it says $13.99 a pound does NOT mean you have to buy a pound! I buy organic dry goods by quarter to half pounds so it turns out MUCH cheaper than the packaged equivalent. Then you can get more variety for your money!

[@applejuicyjuice]

👍

[@TwoMinuteVegan]

This is a great tip. Also, by buying from bulk bins you can reduce packaging consumption by bringing your own containers.

[@kestrelravensong6056]

Exactly! I love my mason jars for that!

[@CheapLazyVegan]

awesome tip!!!

[@ripleyalys7834]

Im so happy i came across your channel :) Ive been vegan for 4 months now! I can only hope my channel can me as inspirational as yours some day. You're awesome!

[@CheapLazyVegan]

thank you so much! that's awesome =)

[@WeeLin]

Great tips, and I'm totally with you on the lunch prep thing! I also work in London and always bring my own lunch. I just make a habit of cooking food in big batches, then boxing the rest for the next day or freezer. If I bought my lunch every single day, it'd add up to over a thousand pounds a year, not to mention creating a huge amount of extra waste in packaging, bagging, plastic cutlery etc. Plus you're not tempted to buy extra snacks (cookies, crisps etc) as part of a meal deal - much cheaper (and healthier!) to bring in a few pieces of fruit for snacking.

[@youngblossom]

I'm moving out on my own soon, and this video is definitely a huge help! Thanks, Rose! :-)

[@CheapLazyVegan]

yayy :)

[@AshleenWoods]

I love this list. But the sad thing is: this is how we grew up. Mom always cooked "real food" and that was the standard. Only a few of my friends' parents bought the pre-made crap. Then I went to college...and I stopped eating real food because I only had a microwave and "meal plan," but what's stuck me is how crazy my younger friends are and their household never has real food-they make hamburger helper, buy tyson, and all this other shit that even when I ate meat we never had growing up. We had some of this as a treat every now and then, but really...wow, people eat shit now (and I did, too, again, when I was in college.)

[@CheapLazyVegan]

i know it's becoming more and more industrialized and everything is being replaced with processed foods :( it's really sad...

[@duuhaa9285]

your make up is on point

[@lisamilsom5037]

Lidl is very good for nuts and seeds. And also things like olives and sundried tomatoes. Home Bargains is worth a look round as I've bought things like Chia seeds in there!

[@dalindav]

I'm a new subscriber... I really enjoy your videos. Your information has been so helpful. Thank you 😊

[@iheartmac2010]

i like to buy soy crumbles,, once in awhile as a treat., for taco's... but i try to buy frozen veggies, and fresh, frozen fruit.. and i can buy seasonal fruit.. plus my parents have a garden , that i can shop from lol.. it helps.. i love this life style... i don't like the word diet.. sounds stressful... took me awhile to be a vegetarian,,, i'm slowly crossing over. yeaah...thankyou for making this video..i also like to try strange fruit.... when there in season.. i like trying knew things. been a follower of your channel,, love it.. so inspirational.. i love your humor, and so modest. down to earth

[@CheapLazyVegan]

thank you so much!!!

[@vegantreehugger8400]

Great video and great tips. I would only add to still check prices when shopping. Though it is generally true that store brands are cheaper, it is a rule that I have personally found is often broken. If I did not check, I would be spending much more than I do. And luckily it is sometimes my favorite items that are cheaper with the name brands.Happy shopping, cooking and eating. ;)Blessings

[@cct7397]

Sweet potatoes (preferably organic) are my favorite starchy food but I find them super expensive in NY. Any tips to save money on this staple would be much appreciated. Thanks all!

[@jeanlingtan2151]

Can you please do a meal prep 101 video? That would be extremely helpful :)

[@GoldenOwl97]

i went grocery shopping with my mum yesterday in our swiss supermarket, and comparing the ingredients the shop brand (aka the cheapest) with the others i discovered it is actually the healthiest!! They have quite a variety of fruit sweetened products, sugar free, oil free and all and it's super cheap as well! *-*

[@tristian9006]

I'm not really sure why people think meat alternatives are expensive because they're about the same price as the meat counterpart except for a few brands. Especially when you try to eat fully ornagic and non gmo. Grass fed organic meats are more expensive.

[@VeganLiving247]

I like that you live in Canada but you were unsure of the name of the store brand for Superstore but you seemed very sure of the Tesco brand name. Lol. Edit: oh I'm reading another comment and it sounds like Tesco is in England. I thought it was in the states. Great video!

[@TwoMinuteVegan]

Very sensible tips. Particularly bringing your own food to work. Thanks for sharing.

[@tinadyck4468]

Helpful video, thanks:) I'm trying to cut down on food wastage, if I see something in my fridge that about to get old I cut it up and freeze it, it doesn't work with all you're food though, it's sad how much food we as a society waste!

[@AriKaraa]

Thanks for your tips and videos, I want to be a vegan but I always thought it would be hard on a strict budget. Thanks for your help, hopefully I will be vegan in the nearby future❤

[@bluemoon5766]

Marah Holland it deff is I have a budget of 60 a week for a family of 5 and believe me kids little bodies eat so much more than you would think

[@OtakuGunsoNY]

I like brown rice and those sweet potatos are very filling

[@ya-chandesu6340]

おたく軍曹 Otaku Gunso Sweet potatoes are so delicious and help to satisty sugar cravings without having crap refinated sugar or too much of fruits ! Nature knows what we need (>o

[@OtakuGunsoNY]

I know right, now they are on sale at $2.99 for 5 pounds. Can't beat that with a stick !! You'll have sweet potatoes for days. All you have to do is just clean then then bake and the precious skin is where all the fiber is (:

[@JaciniaPerez]

FACE is beat for the gods! Yas thank you for making this video I've commented in the past on my struggle to get a lower budget between my boyfriend and I. Still working on that but this video serves as a reference. Thanks for taking the time to come up with this list.

[@thatonevegangirl]

I love the way you put it- food products being different than food. I'm sharing that on my health coaching blog :)

[@PedroPetipa]

Great tips, sure it helped me a lot. Thanks!

[@TheDarlingM]

Thanks for this! #5 is key for working on #4! :)

[@veggietboy5624]

I love this video, it really helped

[@Hildevard]

Great video! And completely off topic, your hair is amazing.

[@Daneeldrgn]

Thank you this made me more aware of what I'm doing, buying mostly per made foods and not the ones I really want the real food. Simple but... I needed the reminder. Thank you again

[@liveandletdi5590]

awesome video!!!! great pointers for everyone!

[@yoanaaguilera7750]

Great tips, I learned so many new things to consider😍👍

[@kaylawelch1012]

I have been wanting to dye my hair this color. Which brands do you use? & thanks for this video 😇😍

[@ya-chandesu6340]

Extra advice : NEVER GO TO THE GROCERY STORE WHEN YOU ARE HUNGRY !! If necessary, have a snack before going there !!

[@Theaglagla99]

Thank you sooooo much!!! So helpfull!! 😍😍

[@HippieAnt]

Thank youuu so much! This was really helpful. Hugs from Chile

[@CheapLazyVegan]

thanks for watching

[@iheartmac2010]

I admit , I was a fast food junkie.. and i'm a foodie.. I love food.. but since, I changed my eating habits.. I feel so much better, have more energy, and lost some weight.. it's easy to cook vegan.. I just don't focus on hard fancy, recipes ..I love easy food.. beef and dairy flares up acne and bloats , and hard to digest and flares up arthritis. and I stopped cheese, and other dairy products.. but I still eat fish, i'm trying to get away from that.. I love my carbs..but I say everything in moderation. eating, drinking, life. I try to stay away from freezer processed stuff.. but once in awhile as a treat.. it's good.but I do my own cooking and food shopping. I cook for one. but make extra and freeze the rest as a mini tv dinners , but healthier. I don't use allot of salt or oil. just very little. I let other's salt that they want. thanks for making this video. I started my vegetarian life style. diet is a scary word. I save allot of money on produce and grains .and other goods. I love bulk buying for spices as well.

[@Rxiiven]

Rose!!! I am so confused! Your accent is not English but you talk about tescos! Are you living in England? And if so, when did you move here? Btw you're so cool, it's nice to see some 'chill vegans' if you know what I mean

[@Indielollita]

These are really good tips!!

[@marysibb]

You are the best! You are so entertaining and quite smart at the same time, and funny as hell!! And...your hair matches the chair in your living quarters. Too cute!

[@shayrenae3829]

yesss I love herrrr!!!!!!! ,im still struggling with the managing my health and stuff. Im really upset I cant get the hang of the vegan thing or any diet. sigh hopefully ill get it under control.

[@theveganpirate9506]

Everyone thinks that a vegan diet is so expensive but it's so easy! You just shop around and once you've found a bargain then you can't fail! :)

[@zoedocherty1412]

You look phenomenal in this video! glowing... what's your secret???!!!

[@rachellee483]

[@misunderstoodsoul9950]

This is such a big help ☺

[@bluemoon5766]

That first tip is true for no matter how you eat whole foods is almost 100 % of the time

[@sunshines875]

Thank you for this video - great tips! I am in law school full time and on a very tight budget, so this was really helpful :)

[@CheapLazyVegan]

so glad you found it helpful! thanks for watching xx

[@persephone213]

Yes-I needed this!

[@angelaallen1207]

Great video. I love the way Canadians say "pasta." Those thoughts are mostly unrelated.

[@user-rr6uy7re9o]

How do you say pasta.

[@maryapatterson]

I was born and live in London and my parents come from the Carribean so I can only talk about from my point of view. If you want to save money, stop with the food snobbery, ie visit all kinds of supermarkets ranging from your local Indian, Aldi, Iceland and your local market if you have one. Ask people If you see something new what do i do with this, how do I cook it? Nuts and pulses are far cheaper in Indian supermarkets and even in the Indian section in the supermarket. You can pick up a bag of nuts in a supermarket here, go the Asian section in the same supermarket and it can be much much cheaper, the same with pulses and spices.Iceland, you can buy a kg of sweetcorn and peas etc for a 99p/£1.00. Why did I say I'm from the Carribbean? Because there are influences of food from around the world, like Europe , the Middle East, the Far East , Africa etc which means food doesn't get too Clyde! Boring or repetitive in other words, so plan your food and say that everyday you are going to make your food from a different country or Continent everyday! Now you may not have access to the food or spices but work with what you have.Experiment in other words! I'm not a vegan, but I have vegan days every week. Shepherds Pie! An English favourite! Its minced meat, topped with mash potato. I make mine with lentils instead of minced meat and top it with sweet potatoes instead! Delish

[@eudoraevans3340]

I love your channel. If you had recipes and hauls daily....I WOULD WATCH!😊😊😊

[@janitajasmin]

Can I buy in bulk from normal grocery stores in the UK? Like Morrisons, Tesco etc? And is an Asian food store cheaper for rice and stuff in the UK? I'm moving to Scotland this month for uni :D Thank you for these tips, they will be a lifesaver for me once I move out! :)

[@Julhi_Verma19]

for me I rarely buy ready made vegan food mostly just make my own food or my mom does . my mother isn't vegan but because of me and my siblings she tries to make more food for us.

[@makeup-sm5ln]

good tips thanx❤

[@dianneroy3208]

I am on vacation in the states right now, Dalzell Illinois. Because I have nothing better to do I decided to create a some meals when I get home. I went to my Deliciously Ella cookbook. Went to Walmart and to Aldi's to price compare. Wanted to really look at organic products. I found Aldi's didn't have everything I wanted though. Walmart came in at over $75 @ Aldi's over $50. I don't have Aldi's at home. I can't afford that. Help!!

[@marieeiskindadead5865]

Dianne roy dont get everything organic, look at the dirty dozen, either that or just get conventionally grown and wash your produce!(: also some health food stores like sprouts because i get produce and stuff like that sooooo cheap, i spend around 30-50 bucks on average but usually its its around 30 unless my mom throws in animal products then it goes up to 70 bucks

[@伏見猿比古-k8c]

One problem , if you don't put your grains/dry food in an air tight container bugs/mice get into them and you end up wasting money , because no one likes to opening a bag of rice only to find maggots inside.

[@koldskalbanden7991]

I have one more tip: look at fruits and nuts as treats as well. You see all these vegan diet gurus making breakfast smoothies of 15 differents kinds of berries and fruits, and eating 5 mangoes in a row, and that's simply freakin' expensive! Fruit should be viewed as a healthier version of candy basically. You shouldn't make up a meal of fruit, just as you shouldn't make up a meal of nakd bars. As a snack, it's okay, but as a meal, expensive!

[@maureenbullis1805]

Pen Pineapple Apple Pen frozen berries and raw sunflower seed really help in this area as you do need berries and nuts daily.

[@Josefinelundbyo]

I wanted to try the rawtill4 diet but I'm too poor :'( I'm so upset T-T

[@tamcon72]

Eating high raw is great, but a starch-based diet is also good and has the advantage of providing lots of energy calories cheaply.

[@CheapLazyVegan]

you don't need to do rawtil4!! do the vegan lifestyle that works with your lifestyle.

[@saphir_m]

It looks like their is a lot of benefits to do rawtill4 or fully raw so I wanted to try :( With FullyRawKristina or Freelee, they convince me that this is better for my health! ^^'
