It's easy to see that anything that requires a lot of travel time will end up with a big price tag and definitely not so fresh. I commend you for making as much food from scratch as possible. Fresh foods are much more visually appealing to me than anything else-- they taste better too. Also, speaking of fresh foods, store bough vegan cheese has a lot of grease and artificial ingredients, I agree...they all have a slight cardboard box taste to them.

Cheezy sauce maybe, but nutritional yeast is cheapish if you shop around. I guess my best advice is shop around like crazy - I'm probably just a grocery store fiend, but sometimes I'll turn up my nose at a price deemed too high and go check out 6 other likely places to find the same thing at a better price (if it's something I go through pretty fast, like dates or corn). lentil dal + homemade chapati = dinner! = 50 cents maybe? :D yep, never tried store-bought vegan cheese (and I’ve heard from all corners that I’m not missing anything).

I can get a packet of spice for .50-.99 cents as opposed to 5-6.00 in the spice aisle. I guess less people buy it cause it has a spanish name, but it's the same spice!

I need to learn to make my own cheeze- less packaging, much more environmentally friendly...Sheese is made in Scotland. The cool thing is that it is all their employees are vegan! my dear, you are not missing anything not buying store-bought vegan cheese- the only one that I find tolerable for eating is Sheese smoked cheddar, but I never eat that much of it.

It is so expensive that I can't justify it. I've made vegan cheese before that I've been very happy with. Like your sister, my mom and dad didn't care for it too much either. I might have had a different opinion of it before becoming vegan as well but now I happily gobble it all up. Not letting things go to waste is such a wonderful reminder. I just made soup yesterday that used up some celery and carrots that were pretty wilty. I already had a lot of food in my fridge so soup was unecessary and we put it in the freezer for a rainy (literally) day. You reminded me that Ihave a bag of potatoes in the pantry. I'm going to make some baked fries today for lunch. Yumm! I too have never purchased vegan cheese. It is so expensive that I can’t justify it.
