I love Trader Joe’s — there are plenty of vegan options (read: delicious junk food that’s conveniently marked as vegan, like cookies and vegetable panang curry), their store-brand products are solid, and the produce is usually high quality. I’ll occasionally treat myself to a new-to-me vegan item, but for the most part I stick to my staple foods:
- Canned garbanzo beans — $3.16
- Tofu — $5.37
- Canned corn – $1.78
- Spinach — $1.99
- Sweet potatoes – $3.67
- Avocados — $2.99 (Note: I won’t buy these when the costs is more than $1.50 per avocado)
- Bananas — $1.33
- Fuji apples — $4.67
- Cucumbers — $1.49
- Grape tomatoes — $2.49
- Cauliflower — $2.50
