Delicious & Healthy Slimming World Vegan Meals on a Budget

Is it possible to go vegan on Slimming World and save money? The answer to that is yes! We still aren’t fully vegan ourselves. We’re getting there. Like most modern families we started our vegan journey later in life so we’re slowly moving away from meat and dairy to a more sustainable way of living.

It’s a slow process but one that the family are slowly embracing. 

Add in Slimming World and a very limited budget and shopping starts to become a headache. Filling up your weekly meal plan becomes harder as you’re trying to think of vegan meals that are also Slimming World friendly. If this sounds like you then our 71 Slimming World vegan recipes in this post is going to be for you. 

Meal Planning Help

If you find meal planning hard then come join our Facebook group Money Saving Mums and get access to The Resource Vault with access to over 15+ money saving printables. This includes our easy slow cooker meals meal plan, available exclusively to subscribers!

Everything is included from budget planners to meal plans and pre-made shopping lists plus a link to our Money Saving Mums Facebook group!

We want to take the headache out of trying to think up meal ideas while trying to save money for your family. You don’t have to be vegan to enjoy all these meal ideas either.

By just not buying as much meat or dairy you could not only be saving the planet but also saving money too. Soya or almond milk comes in cartons and is cheap at the budget supermarkets. Shops like Aldi and Lidi are also brining in their own range of dairy free and vegan products so don’t think that you have to switch back to a bigger supermarket. 

If you’re near the start of your money saving journey then here are 16 top tips to help your family get used to the idea of saving money while food shopping and how to start your money saving journey:

1.  Set boundaries – let everyone pick a meal to fill up your meal plan. Use our Slimming World vegan list below to help and takes the thinking time out of it.

       2. Talk about it – remind everyone in the family why you all need to be saving money. Have a goal like a family holiday or a big day out. Have your progress pinned up on the fridge so that everyone can see your progress. It becomes almost a game on who can save more money during the month.

       3. Don’t over talk it – banging on about what the kids can’t have isn’t going to make them want to save money. Remind them what they can have or encourage them to sell something old so they can buy something new.

       4. Make a snack station – if your kids thrive on snacks like mine then set out their snacks for the whole day. That way they can pick when they eat them but when they are gone they are gone!

       5. Educate the family – it’s mega awkward and will make you cringe but lay your cards on the table with the kids. Even younger ones like ours get that mummy needs to save money so that they can do all the fun things they love doing. We play a board game called Pay Day. It’s a great way to show kids how quickly money can be spent. 

      6. Start with sweet things – it’s hard but being on a budget means that some of the sweet things have to go. Making them instead can save you money. Can everyone switch to a lower brand or have them less to help the saving top up?

     7. Cut everything into shapes – this works wonders for younger kids! Everything goes from fruit to sandwiches. 

     8. Keep it simple – saving money doesn’t have to be hard. Buy food that you all like but start at the bottom brand wise and make your way up. Nine times out of ten the kids won’t even notice that they aren’t eating branded items. 

      9. Create your own duct table reusable lunch bags. Great for picnics and weekends out. 

     10. Be prepared – saving money doesn’t mean extra work. You can make sandwiches the night before and prepare meals in a slow cooker or cut vegetables before you need them. There’s nothing like coming home to a meal ready and waiting for you. 

     11. Join our FREE saving money help in our Money Saving Mums Facebook group. Our safe community of parents are all in the same boat as you. Becoming debt free isn’t easy but together we can all help each other.

    12. Use money managing apps like Plum to keep your shopping bill under control. Using an app like Plum* can really help you keep your money in check.

 Plum* can help you build up your savings while showing you exactly where your money is going. You can link all your accounts to it. It’s very transparent! It’s free to use and perfect if you prefer all your knowledge in one place.

    14. Go through all your bills and check you’re on the best deal. This should be done at least every 6 months. We all know we should be doing it regularly and it really can save you money.

If the whole idea fills you with dread then have a look at Bulb*. They make switching really simple, promote going green and also offer you a bonus when you switch.

   15. We recently swapped to Bulb* and saved over £100. You can get a quote here and find out how much you could save. It costs nothing to find out

   16. Use cashbacks if you shop online for anything. We recommend Quidco* and Swagbucks*. You get money off whenever you shop online through their sites which can really come in handy.

None of these need to cost you earth. By buying as much as possible frozen, even the vegetables means that you only have to grab the amount you need. 

Don’t forgot your slow cooker too. We use ours weekly when we know that we are going to be out and about without time to cook a good meal.
