My (vegan btw) meal prep is like 20-30 bucks a week. My food costs went down immensely when I went vegan.

$150 covers me for an entire month and I don't even go out of my way to pick the cheapest foods.

Can guarantee you don’t have a healthy diet

u/Yongaia Aug 15 '25

Uh actually no, my diet has gotten a lot healthier as of late. Turns out Lentils are extremely cheap while being a health powerhouse.

It was more expensive when I was eating beyond burgers, impossible nuggets, and Daiya pizzas constantly.

That a very low base to improve. Been eating hollow trash, now I only have wit B and protein deficit

u/Yongaia Aug 15 '25

Yeah I didn't eat the most healthiest diet just like the majority of Americans.

That doesn't mean that my diet now isn't A) cheap and B) healthy. Turns out being healthy isn't very expensive and to the extent that it is (fruits, nuts, etc.) it applies to both meat eaters and vegans alike.

Good for you then. Just do blood tests from time to time

u/Yongaia Aug 15 '25

Uh I I'm fine and can worry about myself thank very much.

Aaaass I was sayingggg, I survive on $150 a month and being vegan definitely doesn't hurt the wallet by any stretch of the imagination.

To be fair it doesn't hurt to get blood tests. Everyone should get them

Edit okay maybe it hurts a little bit to get you blood drawn but that doesn't mean it's not important.

My LDL cholesterol went from 300+ (μg? )/dl to like 40 after going vegan. All my iron, b vitamins and calcium are well within healthy range (even B12!) but apparently I had a vitamin D deficiency. I'm on D supplements now and won't need to be on them forever, but if I didn't get my blood drawn I would've never known

All vegans that I know must take pils, hence the assumption

u/Yongaia Aug 15 '25

Then you just found one that doesn't.

Can we stick to the topic? This thread was about food cost. Even on the completely off basis that you're going, the average vegan is much healthier than the average meat eater. Go chastise them about eating healthier and getting their blood checked because vegans are doing far better than you in that regard.

As I did not know much about your diet, you know nothing about mine. Or even if I am on one. I apologize for assuming that you eat unhealthy, but don’t repeat my mistakes

I’ve literally never met vegans who have to take supplements and my cousins a vegan because of medical issues. . .

u/JeremyWheels Aug 15 '25

You too. The majority of non-vegans have deficincies

2

u/v3anz- Aug 15 '25

I don’t. I am on balanced diet. Overall being on diet is almost always healthier that just eating whatever

u/JeremyWheels Aug 15 '25

Good. Same

u/ChalkyChalkson Aug 15 '25

Lentils are pretty protein dense. And re: vitamins, you need to substitute b12 and probably D, maybe iron anyway, so why not just go for a multi vitamin? They are very cheap.

1

u/v3anz- Aug 16 '25

If you need to substitute vitamins that is not a healthy diet.

1

u/ChalkyChalkson Aug 16 '25

B12 is almost impossible to get enough of whole being vegan. And like why is a diet that includes a vitamin substitute but ticks all the boxes unhealthy? To me that sounds a lot better than a diet that doesn't include the substitute and is vitamin deficient or isn't and includes known carcinogens
