Vitamin D can be a big pain in the neck, 8 out of 10 times it seems to come straight from our friends, the sheep, and 9 out of 10 brands of margarine seem to contain vitamin d/ lanolin. personally i like margarine on bread for breakfast and i am constantly searching for the perfect margarine to bake and to make butter cream frosting with.
the other week i picked up Landkrone margarine at Maran and i really like it. it tastes fresh and mild and is under € 2.
i had 10 minutes to check out the food section at ikea while waiting for the free bus shuttle back into town. here is what i found:
paid € 6 for all of this svenska food.
over the next few weeks i am challenging myself to be less wasteful, use all items from the pantry (yes, i have a pantry!) which will also help me to be a more creative cook, and buy vegan and organic products without spending a whole lot of cash on them.
today i went to Hofer (Aldi for our German friends) and got all this for € 15 (had a € 10 coupon, too!)
bananas, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, bread, pasta sauce, oregano, a nice big bag of buckwheat & awesome strawberry muesli bars, for the modern woman on the go! damn you, hidden honey!!
if you know of any deals, like cheap soy milk or pastries, send them my way.
in an ideal world we would grow and make all of our food ourselves, we would only shop at the farmer’s market or the family-owned store around the corner, but in the real world we grab our environmentally friendly cloth tote bags and walk to the nearest supermarket and if we are lucky they have their own organic, vegan-friendly line of products, like Zielpunkt/Plus does.
i actually really like their tofu.
you get two blocks of firm tofu for an affordable € 1,99, good for frying and your very own version of a no-egg salad.
equally affordable: their soy rice milk, yours for € 1,19.
and there is more cheap organic vegan-friendliness to be found! just you wait.
