  Tavia T. asked:

  Hello! I live in the Midwest where it is frrrre freezing cold. I'm transitioning from vegetarian to vegan and I need so much help. Can anyone give me a grocery list of basics I will need to have in my pantry? Also, the caveat is that I make very little money and waitress at a Bengali/Indian restaurant. I get rice but I think dairy is in much of what they make. I have nooo clue how to begin. Or should I say, vegan! Ha ha

  Not sure where you live but I'm from Fargo and I bought boxes of bananas at Cash Wise (40 lbs for $23.60). I also bought legumes at ethnic stores for cheap and made various dishes with them by soaking/sprouting them then cooking them. Canned tomatoes ( no/little salt added) add flavor to dishes without costing too much. Buy bagged brown rice in bulk if you can. Spices are up-front costs but they add lots of flavor to cheap staples (grains and legumes). I have written about cheap, healthy, vegan living here: http://www.carobcherub.com/health-bits.../healthy-budget/ Good luck!
