FAST FOOD: Don’t worry if you can’t get to a Greggs shop for its popular vegan sausage roll. Morrisons is selling a foot-long vegan sausage roll for £1, which is bigger than the Greggs version for the same money.

Plus, fast food chains such as KFC and McDonald’s also have great offers on the go. Just make sure you grab them as part of a meal to get the most bang for your buck.

VEGANERO: Running for that coffee and pastry but trying to stick to ditching animal products? Caffè Nero has you covered with its new Veganero menu.
It includes vegan croissants plus lunch choices including a “meatball” panini and a vegan salted caramel and chocolate cheesecake.

Plus, Caffè Nero has the best value reward scheme on the high street, so make sure you download it’s app.

You can collect stamps for your pastries and your coffee, which add up to freebies. You also get extra stamps every time you use a reusable mug or refer a friend and there are often promos for extra stamps.

MONEY GAINS: For those looking to increase their protein intake, make sure you head to Asda for its meat-free mince costing £1.50, which works out at 15p per 10g protein — that is cheaper than Tesco’s version for £1.75, or 19p per 10g protein.

SAVING: 4p per 10g protein

MEAT-FREE MEAL DEAL: Vegans do not have to give up a Boots Meal Deal. The pharmacy chain has three classic sandwich flavours with a vegan twist, all priced at £3 individually, or as part of the deal (which comes with a main, snack and drink) for around £3.39. This can work out at a saving of around £2.60, depending on your choices.

SAVING: around £2.60
