In what world do you live that fake meat is cheaper then regular meat???
Beyond is ~$8/lb Impossible ~$9/lb
I can regularly find chicken and beef for $4-6/lb If I shop around can usually score meat for ~$2/lb
We have a frozen food chain around here (Ontario, Canada) that has a wonderful selection of faux meat, often brand name (Beyond, Gardein, etc), but also their own brand.
Super cheap! I usually get massive bags or boxes of the stuff for under $20, usually much less. Not long ago they had vegan cheese for like $2.50 a bag, and the bag was at least the size of 4 or 5 dayia packages.
I consider myself extremely lucky to have them around. I refuse to pay $8 for four veggie sausages 😂
