people have covered actual meals pretty well, just want to add to try and find spices in the big bags that they often sell at asian/indian groceries (maybe also some supermarkets) depending where you are. you can get a giant bag for like $2.50 where i am that will last for ages for the same prices as one of those little white people spice containers they have at the supermarket, its literally 10x cheaper. adding plenty of spices is one of the keys to making cheap vegan food tasty so its well worth it
