Like everyone - or at least most - I am trying to live on a budget. Depending on your lifestyle that can make vegan living cheaper or more expensive than being omni. So the other day, out of curiosity, I did a search for "vegan" on Wal-Mart.com. Talk about pleasantly surprised! My search yielded 208 items under the term vegan. These are items that are all certified vegan products - not even including accidentally vegan ones, to which there are hundreds more.
Some of the wonderful things available on Wal-Mart.com include varieties of Amy's Soups, Primal Strips Meatless Vegan Jerky, Powdered Soy MIlk (a lifesaver in my house) and Spectrum Organic All Vegetable Shortening (yay!). Also thanks to Wal-Mart.com I discovered Smart Balance Light Buttery Spread to be vegan.
Many of these items are for shipping only and available bought in bulk. For some items this is convenient. Vegetable bases and baking goods perhaps? For others, not so much. I like rice cakes, but I don't want a case of 12. So if you know some vegan friends get a list going of all the items you each like or use fairly often but don't want a case of. Then split the cost and the items between you. Another option would be to ask your local store to carry more of these vegan products. I, for one, would love to see the Primal Vegan Jerky at the check out lines.
