Graphic from the Vegan Society of Ireland comparing drink prices per litre in Aldi and Lidl. In Aldi, soya milk costs 0.99 euro per litre and oat milk costs 1.19 euro per litre, while dairy milk costs 1.29 euro per litre. In Lidl, soya milk costs 0.99 euro per litre and oat milk costs 1.19 euro per litre, while dairy milk costs 1.29 euro per litre. Decorative vegetables and a salad bowl appear in the background.
When you look at the price per kilo or per litre, everyday plant foods often come out cheaper than meat and dairy. Beans, lentils and plant milks can be some of the most budget-friendly items in the shop. ๐ฑ
Check out our research from various Irish supermarkets.
Simple ingredients, simple maths๐

Did you know that itโs much cheaper and more cost-effective to buy groceries as a vegan?
There is a myth that eating vegan food costs more. When people say vegan food is expensive, it is worth checking the numbers. ๐งพ

A shift to plant-based eating would free up land for wildlife and support healthier ecosystems.
๐ฑ Eating plant-based also helps conserve water, reduce pollution from farm waste and can use crops more efficiently so more people can be fed with fewer resources. ๐ง๐ฝ๏ธ

Transitioning to a plant-based diet and going vegan helps reduce land use, protect habitats and lower emissions linked to climate change. ๐
In Ireland, animal farming is linked with most biodiversity loss and it uses vast amounts of land that could be restored for nature. ๐๐

How you can help: The Irish Anti-Vivisection Society calls on the Irish Government to enact legislation immediately to ban the LD50 Botulinum Toxin Potency Test for cosmetic procedures.

This has driven much of the increase in animal use and suffering, according to critics. The Irish Anti-Vivisection Society has strongly criticised the government and regulatory authority for allowing these numbers to rise and for what it describes as insufficient action to reduce animal suffering.
27.01.2026 12:09 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Over 19,000 of the experiments were classed as causing severe pain or suffering, a rise of more than 44 percent compared with two years ago.
A large number of these tests involve lethal poisoning of mice for botulinum toxin products (brands in Ireland include: Botox, Bocouture and Letybo). ๐๐ฉธ

The Irish Anti-Vivisection Society (IAVS) has shared new official figures that show that more than 112,000 animals were used in experiments in Ireland in 2024, an increase compared with 2023.
Most were mice, but guinea pigs, pigs, dogs, horses, goats and others were also used. ๐๐๐๐๐๐พ๐
