Cheap Vegan: ROAD TRIP EDITION! 
Our first stop on the Midwest/New England US American Road Trip was CALIFORNIA!!!
…PA
California is right outside of Pittsburgh, so we went in to get lunch. We hung out in a place called The Strip District which had some awesome open markets, Italian and Asian super markets, and cute cafes. So we found some great ways to save money for lunch.
First we got a 2 for 1 loaf of fresh baked italian bread at one of the Italian Markets.Then a street vendor had a discount rack that had bundles of produce for really cheap! We got 8 green peppers and 6 apples for $2!
Then we split a big salad at a nearby cafe and had half of 1 of the loaves.
3.99 - 2 Big Loaves of Bread$1 - 8 Green Bell Peppers $1 - 6 Apples$5 - Large Grilled Veg Salad 
$11 total, $5.50 each, and we still have all of the apples, bell peppers, and 1 & 1/2 loaves of bread.

“What do you want for dinner?”

“I dunno, what do you want for dinner”

repeat until you end up eating chips and salsa for dinner…again.

No More.
Veg web is another basic must have for any “Cheap Vegan”. Veg web is my go to for pretty much any day where I can’t decide what I want for my meal. These are all user generated recipes and there are SO many different variations of the same meal, if one looks too hard/expensive/time consuming, you can just click the next one. Another great thing about it is that if you don’t know what you want for dinner but you need to use up those bananas before they turn brown, you can just search “bananas” and a whole list of recipes with bananas will show up. This is a good way to try new foods. See something interesting on sale at the grocery store, pick it up, and figure out how to cook it 100 different ways online.

Or if you know you want a flavor, just put in “tangy” and sure enough you’ll find all sorts of tangy vegan treats. Same goes for food type (Italian, Chinese, Indian etc.)


I recommend this website to every vegetarian/vegan I meet, looking to spice up their dinner menus and try something new.
