Take B12. :vegan-edge:
$5.08/lb
Nowhere near that cheap nowadays, more like $6-7/lb for the cheap stuff and $9-10 for the super lean
how does anybody actually afford to live in America anymore? like for real what are people doing to cope
I mostly smoke weed and jerk off and play video games
Beans
Fr tho. I bought 180lbs of dry beans this year and its been amazing for my budget and health. The bean memes, if anything, are underselling their amazingness.
I wonder where some of you folks live, my grocery store sells it for $3 a pound around here, sometimes even less.
Peanut butter has a higher protein per dollar ratio higher than all non-vegan proteins I could find.

the only things in my diet that the vegan version is noticeably more expensive are cheese and milk, cheese because tesco cycles between two cheese brands every two weeks to have a decent discount, milk because it's heavily subsidized
everything else is either a few pence more expensive at most or significantly cheaper
the amount i save on the rest subsidizes my violife and bougie nut milk
I've found that the only vegan cheeses that are "good" are straight nutritional yeast, fermented cashew yoghurt soft cheeses, and any of the magic cheese sauces which really are the most impressive. Also you can get vegan lactic acid! Real game changer that.
I haven't been impressed by any store bought ones except tofoodie cream cheese, not that I can afford them anyway.
i like violife, maybe i'm weird
That's valid
90% of my grocery budget goes to soy milk
Legumes are so good I love them. Definitely not as cheap as the above (at least where I am, although still significantly less than beef), but I just remembered that edamame beans are a thing and I've been absolutely devouring them they're amazing
I can't remember exactly how much they were but last year or so I made these little veggie wraps to replace my lunch meat sandwiches that had some spinach, banana peppers, and I think pico de gallo for pretty cheap, and they were awesome. Didn't even use cheese so most of the calorie count was in the tortilla.
I was just in the store feeling bummed that mushrooms are $3 per pound and the cheapest meat, pork butt, was $1.50 a pound.
Given you gotta buy an eight pound cut, but I’d buy 8lbs of mushrooms at a time if I could get that price on em!
E: Went back to the store and all those mushrooms were marked down to $2 per lb. We eatin’ tonite!
And they're all cheaper still in bulk, 100% shelf stable for years, and ready in 50 minutes in my pressure cooker!
