Is it getting more expensive to be vegetarian these days?!


Question: Is it getting more expensive to be vegetarian these days!?
Answers:
all groceries in general are getting more expensive, but I would agree, especially produce!. I'm not vegetarian, but we in our house eat alot of fresh produce and it is getting ridiculous!. We are growing a garden, hopefully it will produce tons of fruit and veg! ihopeihopeihope!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

yesWww@FoodAQ@Com

Yes!. But, it's not just vegetarians who are experiencing this!. Food prices are spiking very high for everything these days!.

The whole organic trend certainly doesn't help either!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Naah

Go to aldi and they have fruit for 49p!

AhahaWww@FoodAQ@Com

It's getting more expensive to be an American, no matter what you eat!. The price of everything rises with gas prices, since most things that are bought have to be transported from somewhere!. Inflation is through the roof!. If only we were spending our money on alternative fuel instead of murdering innocents overseas; we'd solve more problems than one!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes, it is!. It's getting more expensive to be human!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Everything is becoming more expensive, but one thing is true!. There are hardly ever any special offers on vegetarian food, soy milk, tofu etc!.
There is this general opinion: if you are so posh and want to be special, pay for it!. That has annoyed me very often already!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Not just for vegetarians but for everything and everyone!. Gas, food, and things are sharply rising but us, consumers, are not being paid enough to match these prices!. Which is why the American economy is in or heading to a recession!. That's why you have to shop even more wisely to find deals these days!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Everything in the stores is getting more expensive, for meat eaters and veg!. people!. And it is only going to get worse:(Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes!. Most things are corn-based now!. (sweeteners, syrup, etc!.) and most corn is raised specifically for ethanol!. Corn was $3 a bushel two years ago, now it's almost $6!. Soy is almost $15 a bushel now, where it was not even half that three years ago!.

I guess corn started it all, and with gas prices constantly going up, it's only going to get worse!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

No, I don't think so!. Grains, legumes and tofu are all super-cheap, and you can save lots on produce when you play your cards right!.

Vegetarian home/personal care products are a tad more expensive, but they can be cheaply replaced with home-made earth-friendly products!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

yes!.!.!.and if one more clerk tells me it is a "specialty item" I will smack him upside the head!!

why should soy milk which costs !.25 to make at home cost $4 in the store!!!

or they don't carry it at all!.!.!.but they carry 15 brands of cow juice!!!Www@FoodAQ@Com
