Agree with this comment and your first. Having ideals isn't worth much if you aren't willing to put your money where your mouth is. The cheap option is almost always the least moral one. "It's better for the price" doesn't justify - it does the opposite.

Fast fashion isn't okay because it's cheap, you're just choosing to ignore the slave labor.

IKEA is cheaper but unless you're truly going to keep the thing 10+ years you're contributing to our throw away culture.

Examples go on

Cheaper is almost never the better alternative. You pay more to do the better thing, and if there isn't a better thing, then sometimes that means going without. When it comes to meta, I'll happily not take part in VR and wait for something else, or continue to use my existing equipment.

Yep that's how it is. Also the worst food is cheap, and marketing of bad things like alcohol and cigarettes are targeting people without much education or self esteem.

Society is upside down and harmful to humans by default, unless we have money, since money is the only thing that gives us options. Controlling the money flow is therefore God Mode, and if you don't have money, you are playing on Very Hard mode by default.
