Vegan Discount Cards (happy eating and shopping!)
If you eat a lot of plant-based food, it’s worth buying membership card VegDining which can be used worldwide at hundreds of restaurants and shops. Other discount cards for shops (which may also be used at participating restaurants) are VeganCard (a digital card that offers 10% to 50% off prices in restaurants, shops and online stores) and Viva! Supporters Discount Club
Diners impressed with plant-based food can buy thank-you cards (also sold by animal charity thank you cards (just 70p for a bundle of 50) to give out that say ‘I ate here, because you serve vegan food’. It’s nice to show chefs and hoteliers that their efforts are appreciated.
Note that most vegan restaurants don’t accept cash, as bank notes are made with animal fats (and plastic). Check site updates for accessibility, and dog-friendly restaurants.

Is It Worth Buying a Vegan Discount Card?
Yes, if you shop at independent health stores or eat out a lot (or travel a lot too). It all ads up, and enables you to support indie businesses, while not having to pay more.
In addition, it’s nice to shop at independent health stores that are usually vegetarian, knowing that profits are not going to the meat industry, and that money (also for restaurants) is kept circulating in local communities. And not going out to some far-off head office, possibly even abroad.
