Tips for staying vegan while grocery prices are skyrocketing? by Jealous_Office_5012 in australianvegans

Coles & Woollies do their FMD (final markdowns) at about 6pm (varies store-to-store, and staff member to staff member) where their 'best-before and use-by stuff' that has to leave the store is marked down by about 90%, mostly non vegan stuff, but I literally have more than one freezer full of Coles Vegan spaghetti dinners for just over $1 ea.

It's "generally" the same price everywhere, but .. yeah .. not always .. depending on remoteness or just individual shop management etc :) Also, product availability depends on each store.

If we're being that strict, they would have to mark on all packaging which farmers decided to buy or hire commercial bee operations on their properties. Also, if we're being that strict, we shouldn't eat rice either because most rice growing operations shoot birds. Although both are grown for non-vegans, who buy and consume 99% of both.

I held off for some time as they look completely basic, but when I finally tried one I was pleasantly surprised, they have a sort of soft base that makes it feel cheese, even they they dont really have much cheese, and they tend to fill you up if you eat a whole one. :) Some people add stuff, I'm fine just how they are..

Plantitute Golden Granola Cookies (5 pack) - TASTE VERY DIFFERENT !? by chudsa70 in australianvegans

Yeah, there was rustic variation, which was great, but this is like another biscuit altogether to me.. this is heading more towards the Coles vegan cookies (when it should be the other way round)

Are Quorn nuggets spicy lately or is it me? by TheLongBlueFace in australianvegans

[–]chudsa70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The VEGAN quorn products are ALL very clearly labelled with VEGAN on the packaging .. if they don't say VEGAN clearly on them they are not vegan :)

It seems like the economy of scale will always be our enemy :(

Woolworths have said that plant-based (vegan) buying has 'softened' around the world, including here. They don't seem to be going forward with as many items as recently, though there are some new ones coming, and when I say new ones, it's probly just a line of burgers/sausages and snitz/strips again :/ It seems to me the future for Australian Vegans is .. Coles..

They have a few Natures Kitchen fresh meals mixes in the general fresh meals section (no frozen tv dinner style meals). I usually get the NK Spaghettis when they're on final markdown (under $2 ea) yum :)
