When my family moved from the USA to the UK in June 2021, our food budget was very tight due to some unexpected moving costs. The job I had lined up didn’t work out last minute as well so we needed to keep our food budget as low as reasonably possible. That was when I came across some youtubers doing a pound per day challenge and was intrigued. I joined a few £1 per day Facebook groups but none of them were vegan.

Inspired by what I had learned from feeding my family vegan meals on a budget in the UK, I decided to start this series of posts. Aiming to help anyone feed their family nutritious and inexpensive vegan meals, these posts will contain simple and easy to make meals. I will then breakdown the ingredients cost per serving and provide the total spent on each meal. 

I have also created a Facebook group where we can all share the meals we have created for this challenge. Click Here to Join The Challenge on Facebook!

This series is a work in progress and I will continue to share my budget meals as I make them. Here are the meals I have made so far:

Hot and Spicy Five Beans Jacket Potatoes for 35p

Spaghetti Dinner for 43p

Mexican Mixed Beans in Mild Chilli Sauce with Rice for 53p

Piri Piri Sweet Potato & Coconut Dinner for 38p

Chicken-Free Southern Fried Dinner for 53p
