Fresh plants that we've bought from all of our local stores do not keep, even in the fridge. Anything fresh we have found needs to be eaten within 2-3 days before it starts turning. I'm not about to go to multiple stores 2-3 times a week to get what I need, only to waste money if I don't have the time or energy to make a fresh meal every day of the week.
Anything plant based that's pre-prepared and/or frozen tends to be anywhere from $6-12 per "meal". I'm over 6'2" and 215lbs and the "meals" are more like half a meal for me.
Unless you are ONLY eating beans or rice. Yes, from what I've seen, eating plant based diets is very expensive.
I am interested in the one comment mentioning replacing chicken with tofu though. Some of the pre-made tofu meals I've had were pretty good. I've never cooked with it though. My family hasn't really eaten beef or pork in years since all of the studies came out linking red meat to cancer. I also have a liver condition that docs recommend avoiding red meat entirely as well.
That's called "shopping". It's very common.
How many times a week do you go grocery shopping and how many different stores do you go to? Personally, I don't know anyone who goes grocery shopping more than once a week, or MAYBE twice if their regular grocery store doesn't have what they need.
Europe would shock you to your core. There are people who go to multiple stores every day.
I often stop at the grocery store on my way home from work.
I'd love to be able to walk to both, but we're not quite there yet.
