I don't know. Depending on where you live, that sounds about on the mark for what you bought. Groceries are getting expensive.

Prepared food is expensive, nonprepared is at a good price.
My bill of entirely unprepared ingredients have increased by 25% since the beginning of the year, so no not a good price.
Buy vegetables and actually cook stuff, it's a fraction of the cost and a lot tastier.
For comparison I was in Germany recently and to a supermarket, 6 half liter beers (variety of em too), nice bottle of wine, cheese, crackers, salami and some dessert type chocolate crackers…$20.
Germany is actually well known for having very low grocery price
English language article that mentions this though the main subject of the article are the " true price of groceries including climate costs: https://www.dw.com/en/the-true-cost-of-germanys-cheap-food/a-38976477)
This is largely done by price dumping the suppliers and low balling the workforce (as much as German labor laws allow) <- I'm aware I have no source for this I will try to dig one up tomorrow when I can
And what is a danish, I'm a Dane and doesn't now what a danish is? Is it flæskesvær?
Where I live it would cost at least twice that. The veggie burgers would be about $12 per pack of two, buns would be around $9 (but only come in a 4 pack) and the Danish would probably be $8 or $9.
Real beef is still way cheaper. A pack of probably 15 patties is around $40.
I live in Alaska. Frozen stuff is a premium. And otherwise prices are all over the place, and supply depends on what came on the barge.
I live in Alaska. Frozen stuff is a premium.
Shouldn't frozen stuff be the opposite of a premium in Alaska?
Ok but what is that flavour? Strawberry cheese coffee? Is that common?
Please stop calling that junk "danish"
I would expect to pay more for veggie burgers than normal burgers
I expect to pay more too, albeit very begrudgingly. To develop meat you have to feed vegetables to an animal for months/years and then you need to process the meat in a very specific manner to separate the meat, the offal, and the bones.
A vegetable patty? Just mush it all up and call it a day, maybe add some beetroot extract to give it that 'bloody' colour.
The lack of competition, the lack of consumer demand, and the lack of government subsidies have turned what should be a very cheap alternative into a luxury good.
That really isn't bad
You.... Bought premium brand items, and are shocked that they are above average price?
:surprised pikachu face:
