@@Schlesticle vegan SUBSTITUTION food is expensive. Go compare the price of a full meal of vegan chilly vs a full meal of chilly with ground beef. Veggi burgers are more expensive than ground beef burgers, vegan cheese is more expensive than American cheese slices. Just stop making raspberries and lettuce and other fresh, delicate produce as the representatives of healthy food in your mind. People eat a lot of rice and onions and potatoes without even noticing they are cheaper than meat.
Vegan food (vegan burger, pizza etc) expensive? Yes, but vegetable food? Nope, there are lot of vegetables food cuisines out there especially here in the Philippines but we don't call them vegan food just vegetables (gulay) or just called them by the name they were given to lol
If you're constantly buying fake meats, cheeses, etc then yeah but using whole foods like potatoes, grains, and others are a lot friendlier on the wallet
A baked potato with a bunch of chopped green onions sprinkled with malt vinegar/Tabasco sauce is one of my favorite foods. I probably eat one of them every day along with the regular beans/rice and fresh fruit and I've not had a single health problem in over 16 years (when I went vegan).
Right, since when are beans, vegetables and grains etc the priciest items in the store? Ok nuts and seeds are a little more expensive but we learn how to budget money and time and its always way cheaper 😫
@17lyra777 don't forget about buying from local people that sometimes have cheaper prices than big stores, buying in bulk stuff like almonds nuts and grains, buy stuff that is in season, meal prep so that you can better control the amount of food thus reducing the amount bought and food waste, buying only when food is on discount, so many ways to go even cheaper
@@Luro_fu Sure..also not arguing, but if "real" meat and dairy wasn't crazily subsidized, we'd be looking at vegan food (including meat replacements) being crazy cheap and meat and dairy being crazy expensive.
If you can cook; vegan food can be a fraction of the cost and twice as nutritious. If you're purchasing premade food; in my experience it's usually the same price or slightly more expensive. If you're eating out; vegan food tends to be overpriced. A lot of the disparity in price can be attributed to the fact that meat is heavily subsidized on top of the fact that it's often combined with soy. The cheap imported meats that you'll get in microwave meals usually have more soy than meat so if you're broke but want to eat vegan then you're already halfway there
Yeah… I quit and got back to being vegan many times because I get way too lazy to cook more often than not 😂 and it’s so much easier just getting an easy ready made meal for $5 or less after a hard day of classes and exams than to spend a while _cooking a whole meal_ lol that’s exhausting
@@DefinitelyNotAFerret I mean if you don't want to chop anything you could always do a vegetable soup or chop everything in the morning, put it on a topper and live it in the fridge, at least that's what I do
I think there are two major problems here: 1. People are so attached to eating meat that they think you cannot enjoy vegetables on they're own and that you need to have something that tastes and feels like meat. 1. People are so used to buying premade food instead of cooking home that they only think about what they can find in the supermarket
I don't get why people say it's expensive. It's literally EVERYTHING that is not an animal product. There's nothing cheap about meat and cheese these days
@@theprocessss depends my local grocery store sell beyond meat burger $8 for 10 burgers while Walmart is like $16 for 8 burgers so it depends on where you shop
@@Xero488 you’re lucky then. Bc I work at target and stuff is not cheap. Especially for a college student. I’d love to be vegan but I’d need a full fridge of fake meat which would kill my bank account
My wife is from Mexico and when I visited for the first time after changing to a vegetarian diet, she said that the poorer people are vegetarian or outright vegan because they can't afford meat. And in restaurants there, the cheese filled options vs meat filled products are the cheapest options. Vegan products are sold a premium there, but if you buy the ingredients then it is cheaper. And there are a lot of meat products with TVP filler as cheaper options, because meat is more expensive.
My mom grew up in a working class family with little money during a dictatorship and rationing... I'll tell you this much: they could not afford to eat meat everyday! I learnt to cook from my mom, and what she knows best (since she had to learn to cook at a young age to help at home) is stews, soups, lots of potatoes, grains, legumes, seasonal veggies... Cooking simple vegan meals with easy ingredients in batches is the best way to save both money AND time! I've lived in three different countries and this has proven right all the time ^^
I found that making the switch to a plant based diet opened the door to a a wider variety of foods. I find that the indo-pak and Asian grocery stores to be less expensive. Then get you a Vitamix for silky sauces and creamy dips😊
I literally started saving money on groceries after going vegan 🤣🤣🤣 The natural vegan clothes and bags and shoes are generally always the cheapest anyway and if you're sticking to foods like vegetables, lentils/legumes, grains, seeds and fruits, your diet will be extremely healthy and also super affordable.
It depends on what you're buying and where you're buying from. Stick to mostly Whole Foods. It's the mock products that add up. Only get those occasionally and you'll be good.
It can be as expensive as you want it to be/can afford. Funnily enough, sticking to WFPB is usually cheaper, and much healthier. Though I will buy burgers/pizzas/mock meats etc every now and then, and thatll put the grocery bill up. I make massive pots of healthy vegan chilli's and stews, they don't make it to the freezer though because the omnivors in my house always steal my stuff, so it can't be that bad 😂
I think the misconception might come from the fact that many vegan restaurants or options are expensive and… often not very good, despite that. I think people really underestimate how cheap and tasty homemade vegan food can be.
These videos make me so happy! I don’t eat meat, and I only eat dairy from local kosher farms that don’t separate calves, and my grandma’s unfertilized chicken eggs. This gives me the courage to go full on vegan!
I’m a meat eater, but I live with my vegetarian girlfriend. After about 1-2 months of living together and cooking separate meals I noticed her grocery bills were a fraction of mine bc of the meat I bought. Now I almost always cook vegetarian and we spend about $30 per week on groceries. Not vegan though because we get eggs from our friend’s chickens and cheese from the local farmer’s market. That saved money allows me to afford to go out to restaurants and eat meat on the weekends that is way better than I would’ve prepared it!
I grew up with my mom making rice and lentil soup every night for dinner. We weren’t vegan it was just a cultural staple. I went to college with a massive 20lb bag of rice and 10 lb bag of lentils (cost me ~$40). Lasted me nearly 2 semesters!
I don't understand why people say vegan is more expensive. Meat costs so much money. And if you only buy prepackaged and processed foods of any kind (not just vegan) it's super expensive. It's like when people try and argue that going out to eat is cheaper than buying groceries. 😅
Surely the answer depends on what you buy As a rule, the x-substitutes are always more expensive until they get to be independent products in their own right
I’m considering it, but honestly when I’ve looked into it, it was definitely more expensive for the meals I want. Until I can get it for the same price, I doubt I’ll be going vegan 😂but it’s always on the table. Groceries are already too expensive, not willing to make it worse.
If you buy stuff like frozen pre-made vegan meatballs etc then yeah it's gonna be expensive. But doing that completely ruins the great possibilities of vegan food, so many things we eat are already vegan. Alot of dishes can be made vegan by just swapping a few things to a vegan version and it still tastes amazing
Here you are, helping the people who are probably gonna make the switch to vegan.(i couldnt be vegan, i love chicken too much)i think your channel isbgreat
I really think it depends where you live and what you want to eat. Here in sweden cow milk is much cheaper than oat milk (same with yoghurt, cheese etc). It almost costs twice as much, meanwhile I save a lot on muying beans and tofu instead of meat.
It is if you buy the Frozen pre-made stuff a lot of the stuff is like vegan burgers 4 burgers for like $9 for like a vegan pot pie $25 this is how much it is in Canada if you're in the US he'll be a little less because you're currency
I’m eating a vegetarian diet for the month of March. I give myself these random challenges; just to try it out and see if I can do it. I’m making it so far, but starving and probably overeating some. But I have found that I spend the same amount at the grocery store no matter what. My biggest expenditure now are juices: fruit juice and vegetable juice. I like to get some of my daily servings in liquid form. So I need to learn how to make my own juices. Do you have videos about making juice drinks? Or can you make them? It would be much appreciated.
I spent more money on groceries before I became vegetarian, but I stay away from fake meat products for the most part, and make my own versions instead. It's much more economical (and tasty) to make your own black bean burger patties, or tofu patties, etc. Plus, I feel like I am much more mindful of what I eat now, and how creative I can get with meal planning.
Hmmm depends on where you are from. I'm trying to minimise my animal protein intake with mushrooms and paneer. I'm not sure what's wrong with tofu I got, it's wasn't cheap but it caused me to run to the bathroom twice in an hour. And it wasn't just one company's tofu that did it? Do y'all think it's the preservatives? Because I do have soya bean chunks curry sometimes and it ain't bad. As for milk alternative, I can't afford that...and almond milks makes me queasy. I'm glad that my culture is famous for vegetarian dishes, however. Veggies are where I save most anyway. As for lifestyle products, vegan/sustainable/cruelty free products are rarely accessable by middle and lower class due to the price range. I use stainless steel utensils mostly but other than that, I use plastic bottles sometimes as copper ones are pretty expensive

Many poor people literally dont have the ability to regularly buy things like meat and sustain themselves on nearly vegan diets and people somehow reached the conclusion that it’s expensive lmao
Vegan food is just regular food without animal and dairy product. So you have to drop any stuff that include. So after getting rid of stuff from your diet don't even eat anything that requires those and you'll save a lot of money. But then again you would like to eat burger but without meat that's why you use plant based meats and vegan cheese which I think cost more.
it's cheap. last semester at university I ate mostly food I cooked myself and I only paid around $100 at the grocery store every few weeks. but I also wasn't eating a ton of fresh veggies, which is definitely something you want to do, and that might be somewhat more expensive
@@TheeBurgerDude a lot of people quit being vegan because they don't feel very well after like most of the celebrities that try to be vegan they eventually go back after a year
There's cheaper vegan food and expensive vegan food just like there's cheap non-vegan food and expensive non-vegan food. The staple food in my country is Rice, Wheat, other grains, Beans, Legumes, Vegetables, local and seasonal fruits, nuts and seeds, etc. and all of them are cheap and accessible almost everywhere here. Vegan food being cheap or expensive for you comes down to your preference and frequency of purchase if one likes to have plant based meat, dairy and eggs or processed versions of those which is totally fine but that doesn't make vegan food expensive in general. It also depends on what you prioritise. I am comfortable with spending a lot on art events, concerts, plays, movies, adventurous trips and experiences but I don't spend much on clothing, buying vehicles, luxurious stays, etc.
I eat vegan some days of the week (not all) and I eat like 5 times a day (not too much, just to meet the requirement) and I got to say it's kind of the same as buying regular food.
When ppl say it's expensive they're saying that they have no imagination and have just tried to replicate their omnivorous diet exactly with processed vegan items like mock meats and cheeses instead of changing the things they eat.
It’s the vegan products that are commercialized that are pricey. And the replacement substitute ingredients that add up. The veggies in a can and the “whole” ingredients aren’t.
People that think vegan food is expensive only think about like impossible meats, other plant based meats, vegan egg, vegan alternatives. But most vegan food isn't a meat alternative
no. just no. Vegan foo is food that does not have any animal in it. You know i made chili 1 month ago and you wanna know how much it cost me? 40 dollars. 40 dollars for a ton of servings of chili. So this is cheaper then regular as a pound of beef right now is about 14 bucks for a pound of beef.
Well, veggies are not THAT expensive, fake meats tho, that might be like a bit more expensive, but usually just some fake burgers or Soy Meat works just fine

How do u make every food u make look good
Tell that my peppers which are worth about 6$
If you have the means to bulk cook meals, it's definitely not expensive...😊
Was that shredded carrots in place of cheese?
Wait that's sour cream. That's dairy. GRRRRR
Wiat till he finds out about vegan sour cream
But it is more expensive than regular eating.
Every vegan food costs more and has a extra charge added to it
no. just no. Vegan foo is food that does not have any animal in it. You know i made chili 1 month ago and you wanna know how much it cost me? 40 dollars. 40 dollars for a ton of servings of chili. So this is cheaper then regular as a pound of beef right now is about 14 bucks for a pound of beef.
Speedrunning shorts . Is vegan food expensive? No.
Yeah
It's inexpensive, but having tofu and tempe or stir fry everyday is boring. I crave meat
Yum 😋
Well, veggies are not THAT expensive, fake meats tho, that might be like a bit more expensive, but usually just some fake burgers or Soy Meat works just fine
