In a world where healthy eating seems to cost us more money (e.g., Whole Foods has been referred to as “Whole Paycheck”, whereas convenience stores filled with cheap processed foods and fast food restaurants are vastly more accessible, especially in lower income neighborhoods), it’s easy to believe the myth that being vegan is also more expensive than a meat-, dairy- and egg-filled diet. 

However, there are many articles and blog posts already out there that debunk this myth. I’m just going to add to them with my own experience of being vegan on a budget.
