Online stores are generally a little more expensive, but they usually have a larger selection of vegan products, and sometimes have some great treats that can’t be found elsewhere.
If you’re a good shopper, you can always look out for discounts and sales. And once you get to know which products you like, keep your eyes open for them in other places like Amazon.com – they actually offer a large range of vegan products, often at quite reasonable prices.
Vegan convenience products are great for those who are making the transition, but for those who prefer to avoid the packaged, processed stuff, have no fear! There is an abundance of vegan whole foods available at grocery stores, health food stores and farmers’ markets.
You can find a guide to vegan supermarket shopping in the article What Do Vegans Eat?

It's not that I've got too much stuff, it's just that I haven't got enough room(s).
Pet Beds are in the same categories - foam basket bases, cushions, igloos etc, if they smell like ch…

+ add your ownEvery year I will put on my resolution list to help someone or many transition to veganism.
thanks
Ummm, yeah, Glenn. Hindus treat cows as members of their family.........right. Cows live in the only water sources available for drinking.........pee in it, and children die daily from malnutrition and lack of clean drinking water. This all makes SO MUCH SENSE to me (not)!
@ colleen p Yes, Hindus do use milk, as do the Krsnas, and many others, the difference being, these people either worship their animals, or at least treat them as equals...when an animal gives birth, they do not tear the young away, they do not keep them penned up knee deep in thier own filth, and if they get sick, they treat them and make sure they are fully healthy before they resume milking them..in other words, they are not treated as just a posession for nothing more than profit, but as a venerated, well respected member of thier family. I know a family just up the valley where I lie who have a small "Hobby Farm?" they have 6 sheep. 4 goats, 2 LLammas and 2 very large draught horses, along with less than 50 free-range chickens...all are treated like thier children, and the milk, eggs and wools from these animals are taken in a very caring and loving way, no stress or harm to the animals, and the 2 horses seem to relly enjoy being hooked up to whatever equipment they are harnessed into for the days work...yes...animal friendly farming can be done on a small scale.
thanks!
are there any cultures from the past who were 100% vegan? even Hindus use milk, yes they use milk. a whole nation build on Jainism? http://www.patheos.com/Library/Jainism.html
any tribe, nation what not that didn't even use drauft animals, that did not utilise animals to sniff out hidden foodstuffs. who did not use manure for anything. I am looking for something that goes 100 years ago and further. Maybe 500 years ago, in what we today would call the 3rd world. and I want a place that is above the equator with growing seasons. More so, where they get snow and cold.
I want a people who didn't even make anything from pre-dead animal bones, antler sheds. anything.
using no animal. not insect, crustation, shellfish. nothing.
I went Vegan 7 years ago and I never looked back, it was the best thing I ever did!
I agree, Jennifer C---let's hope that many more people will make the vegan resolution this year too and they will remain vegan.
And wow, this thread is a perfect example of how the same anti-vegan trolls flood every vegan related article with the same anti-vegan rhetoric, disdain, intolerance, ignorance and disinformation. Amazing how some people are so threatened by the mere thought of ending animal suffering, cruelty and murder. Very disturbing indeed.
Excellent article. Thank you for the meaningful post.
