Jewish Life is very expensive

I myself am not Jewish, but I am a Noahide and I am very interested in Judaism and am preparing to take further steps. The more I deal with the practical matters of Judaism, the more I realize how expensive a purely Orthodox life seems to be. Personally, I don’t see this as a deterrent, because it is also a wonderful investment in life if you want to live as an Orthodox Jew, but I was still surprised. For example, I have a Jewish butcher near me, and I never knew what kosher was before, but the prices of ground beef, for example, were three times higher than at the supermarket. In general, food prices are extremely high in kosher supermarkets. If you also have a “double kitchen,” it becomes even more expensive. Then there are the books, etc. I think that many people who have not dealt with this underestimate it.
