To add to our ever-growing list of reasons you should transform your diet to be more plant-based, a new study has found that vegan meals cost on average 40 percent less than ones that include meat and dairy. Conducted by the UK-based organization Veganuary, the study reviewed 11,000 weekly food diaries for a year and found that vegan eaters spent less on groceries and took one-third of the time to prepare food. So, not only does going vegan save you money, but it can also save you time.
Going Vegan Can Save You Time and Money
The study found, A main meal (lunch/dinner) containing meat, fish or poultry costs, on average, £1.77 per person (roughly $2.17) whereas a plant-based main meal costs 40% less at just £1.06 ($1.30) per person. This is a saving of 71% per person, per meal. The cost savings are seen fairly equally across lunch and dinner.
