Is being vegan expensive? The answer? It can be as expensive or as affordable as you want it to be. Pretty much like anything else in life. You can choose the cheap car or you can choose a more luxurious car. The same goes for food, drink, holidays, clothes, homewares, you name it. Choosing to lead a healthy lifestyle is no different. It can cost a pretty penny or you can choose to do it on a budget.
One question I’m asked a lot as I am now 100% plant based (or vegan as it’s more widely and easily understood), is whether it is expensive. My answer is yes and no. No it’s not expensive if you stick to eating a diet stuffed full of fresh fruits and vegetables, but mostly veggies, that are in season. But yes it is expensive if you start buying processed vegan food and junk food such as vegan cheeses and vegan mayonnaises, raw chocolate bars, meat alternatives and so on.
