Hi friends!
If you’ve been around since the beginning of the podcast or you’ve binged through all our episodes, you know we’ve been due for an updated episode all about budgeting while living a plant-based lifestyle! With Toni’s new book Plant-Based on a Budget: Quick & Easy coming out in just a couple of weeks (yay Toni!), we thought it was the perfect time for that update.
We talk all about how our tips for saving money while living plant-based have evolved as our households and businesses have grown, and why efficiency has become even more important. We also share a ton of resources that will help you plan, shop, cook, and keep your food more efficiently!
If you’ve been feeling unclear on how to plan and stick to a budget, this episode is for you.
Enjoy,
♡ Toni & Michelle
