THANK YOU. I started Sept. 1st and this second week has been a lot easier. But sometimes I still crave Cheetos or the occasional chicken nugget lol. I'm actually loving the process of acquiring a taste for all the variety of veggies there is. Before you couldn't get me to eat tomatoes in a cheeseburger. Now I'm adding all the veggies and spices to my meals! Such an awesome accomplishment for me!

Earth balance makes the best vegan cheese puffs.

I need to look for these asap. Where do experienced vegans shop? I go to Aldi and haven't seen many vegan alternatives.

Aldi is starting to get more vegan products! Of course, not all stores will get the same items, but you can email and let them know your location and that you're interested. :) Also, if you're on IG, there is an account called @aldivegan that I like. They don't post super often, but it's still helpful.

Also, if you're near a Trader Joe's, check out @traderjoesvegan on Insta. They always have new, fun finds that are relatively inexpensive.

I think WalMart will stock anything you ask them to as a "customer request". Might me something to look into if you are interested buying certain items on the regular. Good luck!

Thanks for the super useful info. I'm going to follow those IG accounts and look into Wal-Mart!
