Hey Umpa! I don't really buy too many specialty vegan foods, just the "accidentally vegan" ones
my only exceptions were Ezekiel bread 5 bucks a loaf, and the tamales which are 5 bucks for 6...not too bad. I looked at the Dixie Diner again and saw some of the prices were for bulk amounts...so a couple of the items aren't too bad! They will definitely have to stretch though, as I said, 3 of us living off of 800 bucks a month only goes so far! I do have a friend that works in Kroger's and he tries to special order some things for me, but sometimes his manager just won't. Wal-mart sucks about it, straight forward. I have developed a really good relationship with someone at our health food store though and they might do it for me, I haven't been off yet this week to make their business hours to check...but I plan on it! I am getting used to cooking more with veggies...in reality, I know the possibilities are endless with just veggies...my mind just hasn't gotten that far yet...I'm desperately searching for ideas to jog my imagination...so I'm welcoming anything!!! I'm in my last semester for graduate school and have 32 a week of internship in another city, 15 hours of class which takes up 5 hours on Mondays, my only day "off" and then raising a toddler with health issues...and my hubby works and goes to school...it's such a busy time! But I know if I can succeed now, then I can be successful anywhere! Thanks for all your help Umpa and like I said, I appreciate everything you have to offer and for devoting time to help me...this could save my health, and my life. Thanks a million!
Thanks Mouseissue!!! i appreciate, i am struggling through the diet day by day but making it work thanks to so much help and suggestions!
