Vegan Meal Plan On A Budget

No dairy, no eggs, no meat meal plan. This vegan meal plan should feed two adults for one week. This plan assumes you have nothing in your kitchen. All prices are from Walmart. If you don’t like an item don’t buy it, or replace it with something you do like. If you already have some grocery staples this may be cheaper. This meal plan has a lot more prep work than my other meal plans. If you want to use this meal but you’re not vegan you can use regular cheese instead of dairy free. Additionally you can add meat to many of the meals if you are not vegan.
