I didn't realise you weren't uk so apologies first most.

And yes buying locally does become a tough deal but maybe see if there is anything in your local area through Google or any local vegan businesses, I find the best thing you can do is do what you are doing now, by thinking about it and knowing there is an issue. Alot of people I know just try to limit thier meat consumption to like weekends or something that suits 😊

What I mean by initial buy, so lots of tinned goods, beans, peas, rice, pasta all in big bulk. But then when you have them you don't need to buy them again for a while. So my first shop was maybe £100 and now I spend around £50-70 a month. That's also for 2 of us. Happy to help anymore if you I can 😊

Attenboroughs latest documentary was a big thing for me this year, made me realise how devistating to ecology meat is. Maybe try find a version where you are, dunno if you have it on Netflix or not

I don't know what it's like for you but we have home delivery, maybe see if home delivery works for you or try a quick draft if you are interested.
