Best Cheap, Vegan Dollar Store Finds Ever! (#vegan #dollarstore #savemoney)

We can always find some cheap, vegan dollar store finds whenever we go to Dollar Tree or 99 Cents Only stores, but I think these are some of the best plant-based dollar store foods I have ever found!

Buying frozen food is a great way to save money on groceries, but when you can find those frozen foods at the dollar store, you can save even more. All of the vegan dollar store foods in this post can be found in the freezer section at Dollar Tree.

Pictured above are just the ones that I actually bought and brought home, but there were lots more than that (most of which are pictured below).

Let's start with the stuff that is pretty much always in stock, and then we will take a look at some of the veg dollar store goodness I have never seen before.

I have found that cheap, frozen fruit is always available at Dollar Tree and sometimes available at 99 Cents Only stores. This is great for smoothies and homemade, non-dairy ice cream, and I always have some of this fruit in my freezer. While I try to buy mostly organic, I just can't pass up $1.00 frozen fruit, particularly since we go through a lot of it for our vegan smoothies.

Frozen vegetables are also among the cheap vegan dollar store finds that you will find at either of the major dollar stores and some local ones. Frozen french fries are almost always in stock, and I didn't get a picture of those, but I did find two frozen sweet potato products that I was pretty excited to see.

Sweet potato fries and sweet potato curly fries for just $1.00 each! That is a great price for sweet potato products, and I'm totally bummed that I didn't pick some of these up. I got a little too excited about some of the cheap vegan food that I had never seen at the dollar store before -- and I knew I had limited room in my always-stocked freezer -- but I may have to go back for these!

My local Dollar Tree had a good selection of frozen vegetables this time, including okra, broccoli, mixed vegetables and asparagus. I definitely wish I had picked up some of that cheap asparagus and am probably going to go back to get some before they run out.

I do not remember seeing asparagus in the freezer section of my local dollar stores before, and asparagus can be pretty expensive, so this is an exciting find!

If you have not tried these rosemary and garlic fingerling potatoes, I recommend picking some up at your local Dollar Tree! I tried these the last time I saw them in stock and would definitely buy them again.

Okay, now we are getting to some of the more exciting vegan dollar store finds that I came across on my last visit. We all know that veggie burgers are usually not cheap, but these little two packs of 100% vegetarian veggie burgers are just $1.00 each!

I bought two packs of these, and I tried one last night. The first thing I noticed about them is that you can actually see the vegetables, which is a quality I like in my veggie patties. The recommended preparation method is the oven, but I was in a hurry and threw them in the microwave. They were a tad mushy, but veggie burgers often are when you cook them in the microwave. Other than that, I would say the taste and texture were on par with veggie burgers I have paid a lot more for.

These Jamaican Style Vegetable Patties are another cheap vegan food that I have never noticed at my local dollar stores. I picked up two of them and tried one of them yesterday. The filling reminds me of a samosa, and that is always a good thing. The outside crust is several flaky layers, most of which I easily removed to cut out some calories and gluten.

I think these might be a particularly good choice for college students going back to school and looking for a vegan, dorm-room alternative to Hot Pockets!

I have not had the chance to try these frozen, battered mushrooms yet, but I am a big fan of mushrooms in almost any form, so I can't wait! I see these as a super-cheap finger food for a party or an indulgent movie-night snack.

To surprise me even more, they had not one but TWO kinds of green bean fries. I bought one of each to give them both a try, but have not had a chance yet. I think I'm going to make these and the mushrooms the next time I binge watch Netflix!

Of course, I will bake them with no oil to make them not quite as sinful!

You can't go wrong with zucchini fries, so I bought two boxes of these. My wife is a huge fan of fried zucchini and is an omnivore, so I'm interested in seeing what she thinks of these vegan zucchini fries. I don't think she will notice a difference, and I'm sure she is going to love them! I just can't believe I found them at the Dollar Tree!

Of all of the cheap, vegan dollar store finds I found on this trip, these vegetable empanadas tempted me the most. You saw all of those products I did buy, and I just didn't think that my body could handle any more gluten any time soon. So if any of you do buy these at your local Dollar Tree, let me know how they taste! I'm super curious -- they look so good!
