for me a big part was being ok with certain substitutes being more of a luxury treat and once in a while buy. i sometimes get vegan 'cheese' shreds if they're on sale or if i'm really wanting that gooey texture in a quesadilla or grilled sandwich but it's not one of my staples and i use it sparingly. you'll stop craving cheese over time and it will change how you view gooeyness as an ingredient. also nutritional yeast is your best friend for a cheesy flavor (very tasty in pasta dishes), it lasts a while and is very good for you!
i think it's good to reorient away from replacement products in the beginning to other enjoyable things so then there's less viewing them as continued staples especially if they're not affordable. this can be fun cause you can use ingredients and make recipes you've never tried! and it can be exciting to learn and find out what your vegan staple meals look like for you.
like others in the thread i get lots of different beans (chickpea, pinto, black, red kidney, white kidney, lima, and fava) which lend themselves to a bunch of different recipes and flavor profiles. when i make anything where beans are the star of the show i usually use two cans at a time because with rice or bread, that makes a good leftover that lasts a while (for two people). i usually focus on recipes that give good leftovers a majority of the time since i have low energy for cooking regularly.
