Yes! I make curry and lentil dal almost weekly and it's a pretty cost-efficient option. Totally forgot about it when writing my post. Potato with anything will help bulk up a meal for super cheap, never thought to put it with hummus but that sounds yummy!

Sweet potatoes are a staple for me, cabbage is definitely cheap but I never know what to do with it beyond soup and cabbage rolls. Do you have any recipes you recommend or just serve it as a side?

We love Costco for oatmeal! A $10 bag will last up a month or two. I love adding a little almond butter, hemp seeds, and chia jam to bulk it up and keep me full longer.

We shop bulk at Costco, produce and shelf stable stuff at Lococo's and Walmart, and the occasional specialty vegan stuff at Fortinos.

Awesome, thanks for sharing the recipe! We plan on grabbing higher nutrient crackers when we see them on sale, but will make our own when they aren't on sale. Those ones seem pretty easy, so that's a plus.

I find soups are perfect because they use up whatever left over veggies you have lying around the fridge and like you said, makes dinner for many days. Those are all veggies we'll be buying in bulk to have on hand for whenever we need them.

I love lentils. We buy a bulk bag or red lentils and use it in everything for a protein and iron boost.

I've been looking into making my own milks, but haven't tried it yet. If I can do high protein soy milk homemade for cheaper than store bought, then I definitely will. Spices I never skimp on, I use it like it's going out of style. Buying them as needed at Bulk Barn helps keep it cheap.
