Yay!! Another vegan on steemit! =^_^= Awesome tips you shared here! The trick to eating a healthy, balanced, and inexpensive vegan diet is focusing on whole plant-based foods, buying things in bulk (and in season), and proper food planning, all of which you've got nailed down. It only gets expensive when you rely heavily on processed foods. I've been vegan now for nearly two years, and it's one of the best decisions I've ever made!

I have to avoid processed foods now that I have IC. I did use to eat a lot of processed vegan stuff. haha. But now I am almost entirely whole foods. :) I've got it pretty down. I scoff at people that say it's too expensive being as I have stuck it out for 13 years now and the entire time I was dirt poor. :)
I have actually noticed a few vegans about. It made me feel okay posting vegan-related stuff. :D
Yeah, same here. I think processed foods are terrific for people who are making the transition to veganism as it gives them the comfort and familiarity that's often craved when starting out. Ever since I moved to Chile and enrolled into a plant-based cooking course, I began eating a predominantly whole foods diet. That's really impressive that you've been at it for 13 years, and on a tight budget no less! :) I think testimonials such as yours makes it a lot less intimidating for those who've been contemplating going vegan themselves but are concerned about the affordability of it.
Please keep up the vegan posts! It's been on my agenda to write a few posts of my own (including how I came to veganism) but I've just been too lazy. :P
