Veganism - if you avoid the fake foods. Fake meats and cheeses are expensive, but unnecessary.

Dried beans, brown rice and whole grains are very cheap. Particularly if you buy in bulk, they're under a dollar per pound, and a pound of dried beans yields about 15 servings, and a pound of rice about eight. Other staples like potatoes and pasta are also inexpensive.

Regular vegetarianism is also pretty cheap. A half gallon of milk is about $2.50 for eight servings, likely less if you can buy it in bulk. And eggs are about $1.50 - 2.00 per 12 servings. An issue is spoilage - milk and eggs might be cheaper in bulk, but they might spoil before you can finish the amount you bought. Grains and beans keep much longer; practically indefinitely if you keep the bugs out.

A pound of very inexpensive meat might be purchased for $1.00 a pound, but it's roughly four servings.

I can't really compare the price of fresh fruits and vegetables, because truth is, everybody needs to be eating a lot of these, whether vegan, vegetarian or omnivorous.|||Protein is the most expensive part of an omnivore diet. Pound for pound of protein, beans, legumes and tofu are far cheaper. Fish in Australia averages about $20 odd dollars a kilo and can go as high as $38 dollars a kilo (approx. 2lbs fish). A kilo of tinned cooked beans would cost $4. Meat is the same story.
You can cook simple, plain vegetarian/vegan food or expensive, fancy vegetarian/vegan food. A simple, varied vegetarian diet is much cheaper than a normal meat eater diet (unless they eat sausages/mince etc regularly).|||Vegetarianism.

Meat is expensive (compare 2 lbs of dried rice and beans to 1 lb of meat...now imagine how many meals you can make with it)
Vegans tend to purchase faux food, which gets pricey. If there are vegans who don't purchase faux cheese/sausage/burger/butter, then they would be cheaper, but most vegan blogs I've seen consistently use something artificial (Smart Balance is NOT healthy)|||Depends on what you eat. If you eat a lot of turkey or ground beef, meat is pretty cheap. If you eat ribeye steaks, it's pretty expensive.

If you live on beans and rice, it's pretty cheap. If you buy the fake burgers, bacon, etc., it's pretty expensive.

The optimum diet for humans is a balanced diet: some meat, some veggies, some fruit, limit processed grains and sugar. And, I'll bet, when you look at the cash register receipts, you'll find it's a pretty reasonably priced diet, too.|||Meat if you buy everything n season including the fruits and veggies. Right ow a bag of carrots where I live costs $5/ The same weight in chicken costs P2.50. Since chicken has higher calories, it takes less of it to get the same calories from the carrots. The carrots may fill you up faster because of bulk but you will get hungry faster and need to eat sooner. Combine both and you have healthy meal that will fill you up for a longer period of time.|||Reader,

Where do you live? You can't even get rice for a dollar a pound here. Fruits and vegetables are very expensive but you should eat them vegetarian or not. We spend about $40 a week just on fruit and veggies. Dollar for dollar if you need to feed yourself, eggs are the best source of protein. Rice and beans (or other legumes and grains are the next least expensive staple. Then comes milk. Then comes chicken and a lot of pork is relative inexpensive.

Also, vegetable matter is digested faster so, it passes through your system much quicker and therefore you wind up eating much greater quantities. I have been vegetarian and eaten meat. On the whole, I think it was more expensive to eat vegetarian.

Biggest food ripoffs: Bread...You can bake a loaf that will cost $5.00 for about fifty cents
Cereal...I can't live without it but it costs about 25 cents to make a $5.00 box
Beverages...Drink water and tea mostly.
Grow your own...I always have a garden and don't have to buy much produce in summer.|||meat. because u can eat everything. vegans are picky eaters
they want to know whats in every single cell in food
buying lotsa tofu., egg substitute, soy milk, butter substitute,
and other substitutes will cost u much|||Hi vegetarianism is cheaper in the long run as there are fewer hospital expenses|||Vegetarianism.|||Vegetarianism|||meat|||Meat|||i don't think non of these are cheaper.|||Vegan - There are 4 major categories of food in a plant-based (vegan) diet: legumes, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. If you are willing to cook most of your own food and shop sensibly, most of these foods are less than $1.00 per pound. A plant-based diet is also higher in fiber, which makes it very filling. Eating these foods, instead of highly processed foods, is better for your health, so you will save money in that way as well.|||meat. makes your life worthless and you die faster, but you live a life worth a billion bucks for teh price of 20 bucks.
