A plant-based diet may sound expensive, but it can actually be cheaper than the standard American diet. Learn how to eat plant-based within your budget using our seven easy tips.
The cheapest plant-based foods out there are base ingredients. That is, ingredients that are unseasoned, uncooked, and contain one or very few ingredients.
Even these cheap base ingredients can differ greatly in price based on where you shop, so it’s worth considering where to go before you head out to get groceries.
Fruits, vegetables, and leafy greens can be bought in bulk and frozen for later use. Other non-perishables like oil and nut butter can be bought by the gallon and last for months.
