i've had the opposite experience. Vegan substitutes here for example are wayy more expensive than the meat counterparts, or they're straight up trash. And cooking anything nutritious enough is by itself expensive enough, irregardless if its meat or vegan
"Meat substitutes," ie impossible burgers and vegan cheese, are more expensive. There's a complex process and decades of trial and error that have gone into trying to replicate specific flavors. But "things in place of meat," like tofu or beans (dried beans especially), are often cheaper.
Nutritious meals based on lentils/legumes are astonishingly cheap. wtf are you smoking? mock sausage etc is a luxury good, it is not a standard feature in any diet.
Because vegan substitutes are junk food, not something you should actually be eating a lot of. Tofu for example is very cheap
