Laura: I will save money

Is vegan food more expensive?

No. If you buy basic grains, beans, and fresh veggies to make your own meals, you will not break the bank.  Make large batches of food on the weekends, eat throughout the week or freeze some, and you'll have lots of fresh yummy food from the same dime. Want to go out to eat? Order a yummy vegan appetizer, salad, and entree, and you'll probably still pay less than most meat entrees alone.

Of course, if you want a Big Mac, frozen HungryMan dinners, Mac&Cheese, or the Gordita Supreme from T-Bell, you may save a few bucks compared to buying a fresh local vegan meal.  You may also have a heart attack, support animal suffering, gain weight, and/or develop cancer.  Just saying.

"Replacing meat, chicken and fish with vegetables and fruits is estimated to cut food bills by an average of $4,000 a year." - http://www.purifymind.com/Reasons.htm
