Protein powders: why do we pay so much, for so little?

I just got into protein powders and bought Orgain Organic Protein. I know the contents are sold by weight, NOT volume, and that settling occurs during transit, which makes the jar appear less full upon opening. Think buying 3/4 air, 1/4 bag of chips. But looking at my calculations: 10 servings are in a container, and I use about 4 scoops a day. 2 scoops in a serving. That’s 5-7 days, depending on how conservatively I use the protein powder, of protein powder before it’s done and I need to repurchase. This thing cost me $20.00 and that’s the cheapest I could find. That’s about buying this four times a month - an extra $80 to my monthly grocery budget. Willing to invest, but curious if there are recs for a protein powder that has similar criteria (organic, vegan, gluten free, 20g+ of protein) and gives me more bang for my buck? Recommendations welcome! 😊

Note: the vegan and gluten free isn’t a preference, but necessary, since I have allergies to gluten and casein. Organic is optional, but I prefer it since some non-organic powders have warnings about exposure to metal and other chemicals that definitely shouldn’t be in a protein powder. So that’s a hard pass.
