    the only things in my diet that the vegan version is noticeably more expensive are cheese and milk, cheese because tesco cycles between two cheese brands every two weeks to have a decent discount, milk because it's heavily subsidized
    everything else is either a few pence more expensive at most or significantly cheaper
    the amount i save on the rest subsidizes my violife and bougie nut milk

      I've found that the only vegan cheeses that are "good" are straight nutritional yeast, fermented cashew yoghurt soft cheeses, and any of the magic cheese sauces which really are the most impressive. Also you can get vegan lactic acid! Real game changer that.

      I haven't been impressed by any store bought ones except tofoodie cream cheese, not that I can afford them anyway.
