    Don’t know if it’s officially‘freeze-able”, but when I find things like vegan cheese, cream cheeses (miyokos is my norm), or vegan deli slices on sale, I buy one, freeze one & it’s been just fine on thawing them out. 😊. Heck yes to affordable vegan groceries!

    If it helps I'd definitely recommend buying frozen spinach instead of fresh! You can get a bag of frozen spinach cubes for pretty cheap, at least over here in the UK, and it lasts ages. I find it really great for when I just want to add spinach to a curry or vegetable scramble or something because you don't need to wait for the spinach to wilt, you can just defrost the cubes in the microwave for a few seconds and toss it in. Also each cube is usually the perfect amount that I would use anyway so I find it's definitely an easier option than having to buy bags of fresh spinach often because they don't last as long :)

    Love the Blueland tablets and regular use them for cleaning, but the acrylic bottles all cracked for me after less than a year. Had to end up buying other spray bottles that are the same oz as the blueland ones, but I love the aesthetic so I was pretty bummed when they all cracked. So I would absolutely recommend others to just use their own bottles (maybe even thoroughly clean other cleaning bottles!) and just buy the tablets!
    Also, I love Silk soy milk but their oat milk is not it for me. I love Aldi’s oat milk!

    Thank you for sharing, and giving tips for us being alone, and not eating a whole head of lettuce for every meal, or a gallon of milk for our cereal at once 😂🤑
    I have been vegan for 14 years, and I so relate to about everything you say, and keeping up with our food, not just the produce, but also things like the milk is very important. I try to have some kind of a plan when I open up my soy milk (that is my favorite milk 😋) so it don’t go bad. Good reminder to buy all things unsweetened, I do that myself, and I have seen other CZcamsrs also doing that, but you didn’t just say it for “health” but also for being alone and that it need to be vercital (how do I spell that word right?? 😅 I give up 😅🙈) so it don’t go bad.
    I love my frozen veggies, and berries, and I also freeze leftovers like bell peppers going a little sad. I use English cucumbers, that is the normal cucumbers here in Norway, and I feel they hold up very well, and I normally don’t have a problem with them going slimy. I love a little tapas plate with snap peas, red bell peppers, prune’s, and what other things I have open/on hand, like cucumbers in sticks, mini tomato and some vegan deli meat, bits of vegan cheese (I use a Norwegian brand, so not relevant for the cheese (Coop Vegetardag), and Swedish Astrid och Aporona for salami deli meat, or Lotus ham, is there are any other Scandinavians here). That is a yummy snacks that clean up the fried too 😋
    I also love tofu, edamame, mushrooms, vegan soy Greek yoghurt (Alpro), oats, sweet potatoes or regular potatoes, I love baked sweet potato in the microwave 😋
    I can’t have most legumes, or any in the onion family, but soy is no problem for my stomach. I have severe ibs, some allergies, and intolerance, plus I use some medication that is very hard for my stomach, so I have some restrictions, but normally I make all foods at home and I don’t think that much about it. 😊
    Thanks again! Love from Johanne, Norway 🇳🇴
