Shopping Tips
- Whole nuts are often more expensive than those in smaller pieces, so if your recipe calls for chopped pecans/walnuts/peanuts, go ahead and buy them that way. You’ll save money and it will be less work for you!
- Fresh Shitake mushrooms can be expensive, and most dried mushrooms can be expensive at regular grocery stores or gourmet stores. Try Asian grocers instead – they’ll be a fraction of the cost and taste just as good.
DIY – Do It Yourself
There’s no need to buy expensive vegan versions of these kitchen staples. Learn to make them yourself – you’ll save money and feel good knowing what’s in them!
