It's not uncommon to visit your local supermarket and realise that non-plant-based ingredients are more expensive than processed foods. Organic produce is obviously going to be your preferred choice, but if this doesn't fit within your budget, there are plenty of healthy low-cost alternatives you should consider. To help you out, here's a list of my top 12 items to consider adding to your grocery list when on a tight budget:
How to be smarter when it comes to eating on a budget Ok, so even the cheap plant-based supermarket foods can still be a little expensive -- so my advice is to think outside the box (or supermarket, in this case) and consider buying in bulk online. Foods such as whole grains, potatoes, and beans are generally very affordable, and can be bought in bulk. In fact, buying these ingredients in bulk can often save a lot of money in the long run. Here's a couple of places I often buy my basic ingredients in bulk from: Do you have any questions about the suggestions listed above?

I tackled half of the watermelon alone with a spoon and I gave in the white flag. Whilst holding onto my full watermelon belly I had a thought, I wonder what it would be like to dehydrate a watermelon? 🤔Amazingly enough it existed! Vegan watermelon jerkies!!! I marinated the watermelon in Lime, Smoked paprika, Onion powder and Cayenne pepper. Which then I dehydrated in my dehydrator for 24 hours at 70 degrees celsius. OMG this turned out amaaaazing. Of course dehydrating for 24 hours ins't something we can do or want to do often. But do it once, you must try. For those who are concerned about electricity cost, please refer here. This should give you a little idea and a little relief to try this amazing recipe just once 😉. Watermelon Smokey Chilli Jerky![]() Dried watermelon itself gives full blast of sweet flavour, all you need is a little sourness, a little saltiness and a little spiciness for a party in your mouth 🤤 Prep 15min Cooking time 24hrs Ingredients
Are You Vegan And On A Tight Budget?![]() Having given up a 6 figure earning career in Sydney and moving to Europe to start a completely new career from scratch, whilst being an Artist means... BUDGET. Budget, Budget, Budget. By September 2018, we had decreased our weekly grocery budget from €200 to €100.

After I visited my mother in Seoul Korea June 2018, I came back to Germany with much fulfilled heart AND a second hand Dehydrator! 🙌🏻 I have always wanted to own a dehydrator so bad that my heart began to beat fast with excitement with anticipation of finally getting one. So naturally, I needed a calming agent and decided to make my own blend of Tea for much needed zen-ness. Here's how I did it ...
Taking the plunge... Vegan & MusclesMuscle gains and vegan diet, yep I've heard the worries and I've had the worries. Lots of vegetables are considered “Incomplete protein” meaning they lack key amino acids that are building blocks of making protein. Don’t fear! There are Complete protein sources for vegans and vegetable lovers such as Quinoa, Buckwheat, Hempseed, Chia, Soy (Think Tofu, Edamame and Tempeh), Spirulina For vegetables that are considered “Incomplete protein” source you can easily overcome this by “Protein complementation”, which simply means eat variety! Starchy vegetables lack lysine that leafy green vegetables have abundance of, Beans and legumes are high in Lysine yet they lack in Methionine that Nuts and Seeds have abundance of, you get the trick 😋 Recipe Ideas?
