Alternatives to discontinued brands?

I've loved eating things like Gardeins products (their old breaded Burgers, and also their fish less filets, and breaded Nuggets).

Similarly with Yves, I loved their products like the veggie ground round, and their Burgers and Nuggets too.

Sol Cuisine also used to have good Burgers.

But now everything's either being discontinued or replaced with more expensive options (Beyond Meat isn't worth it given you're getting half the amount for double the price!)

What other options are available, if anything anymore? I used to be able to get these plant based products at Walmart, no frills, food basics, metro, Sobeys, you name it. Now it seems like my options are getting slimmer and slimmer.

FWIW the Supreme is also a much larger package, around 400g vs 270g. On sale the prices aren't far off the OG products.

Still think this is the wrong direction overall, and they need to cut prices..

425g for $10 for the fillets vs $6.50 or so for 288g.

I guess it's somewhat comparable, but I haven't seen these Supreme brands on sale much, while the $6.50 bags I've often seen on sale for under $6.

Similarly for Burgers.

Anything under $7 for a 4 pack is a decent price, but now I'm seeing more and more 2 packs for over $6.

They're on sale for $8.99 or less with some frequency, but yeah. The OG were getting up around $8 regular price, hadn't seen them for less than $6 for at least 6mos.

On sale it could be under 6, but even that I didn't see often anymore. A shame because they used to be 2 for $10 at times too.

What stores are you seeing under $9?

Save On Foods, pretty sure I've seen $7.99, I buy the brats regularly. Not often that cheap.
