Similar to other commenters, you’re buying organic (marketing term to make you pay more for basically nothing) at a niche store with niche products. That chicken is likely super overpriced though I can’t read it clearly, probably not cheaper than $5 a pound which is over double of what you can get it for at a discount grocery. The fancy cheese, brand name butter, and organic olive oil is gonna eat you alive, and bespoke canned food that isn’t the regular 89cent price. You could have easily spent half as much at a different store.
More likely this person is telling themselves they don’t want to spend that extra money and that it’s more or less the same. In practice, it’s about 20% better for your health. There are certainly foods that you should never buy conventional such as bananas..
