The official power supply is sold for 14.62 GPB here (official reseller). I paid 4.50 GPB for the one i bought (including the cable). For 10 pounds, i can buy 1 KG of ground coffee, which would last me around 3 months or so. I confess though, it would not be very good coffee :)
My experience is the worse the coffee the longer it lasts. Maybe grinding the coffee finer and adding a pinch of cocoa powder would help. I don't have a similar solution for power supplies. The worse a power supply the shorter it lasts.

I had enough bad experiences with ATX supplies in the past that I consider a good power supply to be the most important component of a computer. In particular, a fast computer is not useful in any way if it crashes or sets something on fire.

I think USB power delivery is complicated. In my opinion PD is also too expensive for the hobbyist and not reliable enough for commercial use.
