  • Being a vegan in the first world is an extremely privileged thing to do, if you can afford it and like it; great!

    I spend less as a vegan than I ever did as a meat/dairy person. Most of the protein comes from lentils, pulses, grains etc. - all extremely cheap. Nuts too, but they're not quite as cheap - still, they're only about twice the price of supermarket chicken breast by a "cost per gram of protein" metric, and they've gotta be cheaper as cost per calorie. Most of the rest of the stuff I eat is fresh veg.

    I could easily live on £15/week I reckon, if I ate more rice etc. and less vegetables. Currently spend about £20-30/week.

    I doubt it.

    Great, I give up.

  • Not sure how you're more qualified to talk about what I spend on food

    Check for yourself, here's what I spent in July and August on food shopping - £149 in total plus a few quid here and there that weren't on my card
