Comments on: Is it cheaper to be a vegetarian? http://frugalpinoy.com/frugality/is-it-cheaper-to-be-a-vegetarian/ Financial freedom and other money matters for the Average Pinoy Fri, 21 Nov 2008 17:04:27 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.2 By: Celine http://frugalpinoy.com/frugality/is-it-cheaper-to-be-a-vegetarian/#comment-329 Celine Fri, 12 Sep 2008 09:20:05 +0000 http://frugalpinoy.com/frugality/is-it-cheaper-to-be-a-vegetarian/#comment-329 In a nearby Parco Supermarket, I saw potatoes priced at P66/kilo - which was a surprise because Parco tends to be the more affordable supermarket, with some products there costing less than they do in SM Save More. I haven't bought potatoes from the Marikina Market recently, so I don't know how much there are now. But given the typhoons (which cause vegetable prices to go up), I wouldn't be surprised if they cost more than P28/kilo now.

I thought the vegetables I was buying was cheap. I'm paying 55/kg for potatoes! So it's true that Rustan's Supermarket really is a lot more expensive! I think I need to shop somewhere cheaper!

Even here in NZ, veggies are getting pricey but I chose to buy every 2 or 3 days to eat them as fresh as possible. I've yet to see how that will drastically change our budget but I'm hoping it would save us a lot of money now that we're eating less meat. I will post on that.
