Everyone is on the lookout for ways to pinch pennies right now, and one option is to choose low-cost and healthy vegan sandwiches. Many vegan staples, such as tofu, are high in nutrition and low in cost, and they make a great base for a sandwich.
Today's featured "cheap eat" is a BBQ tofu sandwich. The BBQ filling is more of a salad that uses uncooked pieces of tofu that are combined with veggies and a bottled barbecue sauce. So not only is it cheap, it's also easy! Enjoy!
