Any cheap high protein foods?

Does anybody know any niche high protein foods that are cheap? ideally something that can be found in a Walmart or just any food store? I need some suggestions please.
Just stick to the basics like lean Rotisserie chicken, tuna, sardines, eggs, milk derivated products like yogurts, whey, kefir, cheese (Even bifidus, actimel, yop etc) alongside some legumes like chickpeas, beans (kidneys, red, lupin), lentils (blonde, green, coral), regular peas etc. You can even make tofu and tempeh from canned legumes.
Seitan is high in protein (not soy, wheat gluten)
If you have any gut issues related (or not) to gluten it will be a better idea to avoid seitan

That's why I had to precise that it's wheat and gluten protein. I mentioned it because it's cheap and not everyone can always afford to chicken and eggmaxx on top of you being able to make it at home for even cheaper than the in store prices. Some people here have issues with soy so I didn't mention tofu and tempeh, seitan seems to be more approachable to many and also 75g of protein per 100g is quite good tbh

Need a lot of work to washing it and also season to add taste.
Also gluten causes a lot of digestive troubles for people, so i'm not even sure if you can digest it properly and absorb the nutrients.

The 75g per 100g is calculated for the dry flour if i remember correctly. So if you mix it with water to create your dough (meaning 2x, 3x water?) you roughly end-up with 30g per 100g.

Also seitan prices are crazy high in my country so i would recommend more canned tunas and canned legumes, legumes who can be fermented into tempeh anyways

Well someone who has issues with gluten will abstain from it entirely. Many people are very much tolerant without any issues so these people will not be having digestive problems. Also you are right my bad it's between 25 and 35g which is still very good. Seitan IS cheap if you buy the simpler ones instead of the ones with a shit ton of seasoning to try and replicate the taste of meat as much as possible. And yes making it at home requires some work but as someone who has done it before it ain't a river to cry about when all you have to pay for is flour.
