This exactly!!
We became vegan a couple years ago and we save so much money by each ng the way you mentioned.
Basically every meal includes a bean, a green, a grain , and whatever extra veggies and or additional protein (the beans already have plenty though) like tofu of seitan.
People often think its expensive to be vegan because they focus on meat replacements and processed foods. They don’t realize when you cut that, its so much cheaper.



That’s how your close relationships are supposed to feel. They should be people you feel comfortable to be yourself completely when around them!
I’m like that with my wife and a few close friends. Not so much with my family though.
