Ah yes @elleseum - the cost! You are not wrong - low-carb, alternatively sweetened, or Keto/Low Carb food products bought at the supermarket cost a big bomb - for sure.
My poor country - Aotearoa/NZ is having a cost of living crisis big time, and we have two big corporation cartelles controlling our food with high prices, especially for a country specialising in food production, holding us over a very expensive barrel. I now have to explain to my friends and family that I have a 'no contest' fight with my budget - eating quality food has to come first, else , well, my heart and my kidneys could break down etc etc and it would be game over. (I don't talk about amputation and blindness risks to just anyone!) I'm lucky that I have loved ones that let me take horrified pictures, send them, of produce in the supermarket and discuss the shocking prices with me, and they know I prioritise quality food (as in less processed, or best fresh, low carb, healthy fats, good high protein etc etc). Many countries are going through very tough times, and food and feeding ourselves and loved ones is a very big very tough topic.
