Any recommendations for cheap/basic RFID food bowls?

My family has 2 dogs that eat a special wet food due to their age and issues with their teeth (one is now down to none, the other has a hard time chewing) and a younger dog that eats regular kibble typically. We have an issue where the younger dog eats the older dogs' food any chance possible leaving them hungry, and now we have to seperate them by locking the older ones or the younger one in a room while food is out. The older dogs are both grazers that really only eat a bit here and there throughout the day, so this ends up being a majority of the time.

I was looking at food bowls that have a cover unless a dog with the right collar/RFID tag is close, but they all seem weirdly expensive and have a bunch of feature I don't care about like cameras to watch them or automated food dispensing throughout the day (we have to mix their food ourselves a few times a day anyways so the dispenser is useless). Anyone know of a more basic option that would be cheaper? I only really care about blocking the younger dog with the cover from stealing from the elderly.
