Saving money at the deli counter

Last week I was at Whole Foods and tried some scrumptious vegan deli counter dishes. I tried the Sesame Tofu and it was delicious but very expensive per pound, 5.99 I think. Luckily they stick the label on after weighing it and I was excited to see that every ingredient was listed. I then roamed around the store picking up a few things so that I can recreate these dishes at home. No recipe to follow just the ingredients and I think I winged it pretty good and they both turned out yummy.
