(To include this thread...) It's been brought up on the message board on countless occasions, to prepare in bulk for the week. When doing the math, the amount of money spent for that week is much lower than if one were to, say, dine out each day of the week.
If 1-week (or more) meal prep seems daunting, ease into it with 1-to-2 day meal prep.
Make 'putting in the work' second nature, and become that super lucky person if this venture becomes permanent nature.
Also, to increase adherence at-first, use a simple set of ingredient choices that happen to be one's favorites. Simplicity combined with mass-preparation can equal intense savings. New ingredients and choices can be introduced overtime, when stagnation starts to build up.
Also, eating cheaply in any fashion can promote a lack of nutrition -- to which I highly advise supplementation of vegan multivitamins.
There are many cheap ingredients to be found on the 80/10/10 and McDougall side of the frameworks, and I personally recommend incorporating both, to both introduce found nutrition and found money-saving methods.
