    The Tesco on the Headford road in Galway has very little veggie stuff in comparison to how it used to be. They'd have the usual quorn products (burgers, mince, sausages etc.) but none of the new range that everyone on heres been talking about (like cold sausage rolls and ham). Oh and they'v a bit of Linda McCartney too. As for their own range all i ever see is the vegetable lasagna. I was in the Tesco in Oranmore yesterday and they had a bigger selection. Things i'v never seen before like chicken korma and chicken tikka masala made by quorn.

    Bit off-topic but if you're making it as far as Tesco on Headford Road, why don't you pop into Evergreen, just across the way from Tesco's exit in the shopping centre. Haven't been in there for a while, but it used to be a fantastic source for veggie goodies.

    yea, Evergreen are very pricey. apart from Tesco, what are the other shops in around town like, Dunnes? Anything in Aldi/Lidl?
    I'd be willing to get the bus to one of the other shops like Knocknacarra/Westside if they were better. Could go once/twice a month and stock up.
    I find my local Supervalu (Portumna) are fairly crap with their selection, they have a few Quorn things but for rural Galway it's excusable i think. They're about on the same level as Tesco Headford Rd. Like i've said in another thread, going vegan i think so when September and another college year comes along, i'll be shopping in Galway again.
    looking for the best/cheapest places for veggie/vegan food in Galway.

    Hmmm, not sure if it's still the same, but I found the Evergreen beside the Tesco in Galway city to be much cheaper than the Evergreen on Shop St a couple of years ago :) Not sure what the current veggie food stock in shops are as I haven't been in a while.

    It would also be worth your wise to compare the price of things in Evergreen with Healthwise if in the city centre. Dunnes must have some fake meats, but there wouldn't be anything like that in Lidl/Aldi. However, Lidl are great for the cheap vegetables, and they are the base for endless meals!
