Living frugally as a vegan

Vegan university student Laura Beaulne-Stuebing gives her tips on how to live frugally as a vegan in “Being Vegan And Being Cheap” an installment of her Vegan University column.

As far as eating affordably as a vegan goes, I don’t think it is different than any other lifestyle. The same general principals apply:

1. Start off with basic ingredients and make things yourself whenever you can.

2. Learn the prices of the things you buy at the stores near you.

There are a bazillion money saving tips, but I think that these two ideas alone will produce 85% of the value.

This is a fun topic so feel free to add all of your money saving tips in the comments.
