Vegan on Budget for 2

A few months ago I made the decision of going Vegan. I never thought going Vegan was that difficult or it was too expensive, but I decided to make this post anyway to help others that weren't to go Vegan but have a strict budget to follow. I created a list that will feed me and my boyfriend for one week for under 30€. Veggies, fruit and pasta/rice are the most inexpensive product on the planet, so it's very easy to get all you need for your meals for a nice price.

Bellow, you will find the shopping list from Continente, a list of dishes you can make with those ingredients (and probably more) and a week menu so that you can see how I separate my daily meals. The recipes and meals are made in our own taste, of course, you can always change a few things or make your own list. Meal planning all the way!

Hope this post can help a few of you that are on a Vegan journey.
