My mother is always telling me how she can't buy the vegan alternatives for everyone all the time so she buys me my portions and the rest isn't always vegan. If the prices where matched it would change everything. Maybe i should tell her i will pay to match the prices.

Don't remember if it was a short-time thing, but Lidl did promise once to match the prices between plant-based and non-plant-based products.

Aldi also significantly dropped prices here (Austria) on plant based products, so I feel like it's coming along

Here in Germany some plant-based products are now cheaper than the omni equivalents, because prices for the latter increased since the adaption.

Is it me or are they always sold out? Never seem to find any at my local.

In different European countries, I so far always had a good selection at Lidl. If it's always the same store maybe point it out to a manager. If it's constantly sold-out they might be interested as well to order some extra portions...

"Plant based foods"? Fruits, vegetables, oils, nuts, grains? That's most foods.

Just make your own food people.

Most people are used to include meats in their recipes so having exactly what they want but vegan is extremely useful. We need more vegan foods shaped like what people are looking for. I would love to see a seitan chicken breast next to the dead bird one because it shows people it exists and it works in what they are making and it's good!

This is how my family is. I ate meat for every meal for every day of my life for damn near 30 years before I switched to vegetarian. The thought of eating meat makes me sick to my stomach after a few years as a vegetarian but sometimes I just feel like a breaded chicken patty and the plant based option scratches that itch.
