Tofu scramble might be a little more expensive than egg-based version but 5x seems an exaggerated figure to me.

A 14oz package of tofu is probably the equivalent of 4 eggs and costs $2-3. So maybe 1.5x the cost of egg-based version. (Here's a great basic recipe https://www.budgetbytes.com/vegetable-tofu-scramble/)

Also, if you examine your diet you will probably find that you don't need to replace eggs with tofu 1:1. There are plenty of other ways to get protein (e.g. lentils, nutritional yeast, even whole wheat bread has protein).

I'm paying $2.89 for a dozen eggs, and from what I can tell that's pretty typical across the US. So it's more like 4x.

But, I'm in no danger of going vegan, so that's about all I have to say :).
