I am going 'Mostly Vegetarian'

11. dairy and meat are the priciest items in the store.

For my husband and me, mostly vegan, my weekly shopping is between $50 and $75. I do have quite a store of dry goods like rice and beans on hand, and some canned goods, spices, etc. already. My grocery cart gets filled with fresh produce, bread, non-dairy milk, and things like cat food and paper towels. We shop farmer's markets in summer and grow a few things, and have apple trees in our yard, which I'm harvesting right now for applesauce and sliced apples for the freezer.

I even avoid a lot of the "fake" meat items, because I don't think isolated soy protein is such a good thing. Historically, people in Asia ate tofu, soy sauce, tempeh, but not processed soy, so I'm suspicious. Anyway you can make a really good veggie burger without it using mushrooms and oats.
