Grains (or malt extract) are the main cost factors in beer. I get my 
stuff in Minnisohtah:

https://www.midwestsupplies.com/

Small stuff such as caps I pick up at Brewmeister because that is easy 
to reach via the bike path network in the valley. Always a good excuse 
for a 40-miler on the old road bike. Their caps are IMO better than the 
ones from Midwest (harder in the metal).

Bottles we saved up enough and cleaned off the labels. Or course, 
Grolsch flip-tops are my favorites. Yeast isn't a cost factor because I 
harvest it one to two times for re-pitching. I can always harvest enough 
for two beers from the trub of a batch. So one $4 pack of Safale US-05 
can make five 5-gallon batches instead of only one. Haven't dared to go 
3rd generation yet.

The trub doesn't go to waste either, whether the yeast was harvested 
from it or not. We turn that into really tasty "trub bread". Always 
baked over charcoal or wood fire in the Weber kettle. We haven't bought 
bread since summer last year.

When I use honey I put it in right at the end of boil, on the advice of 
someone in a brewing NG. It makes American Wheat which we both aren't 
partial to really tasty. I am on batch #37 now, not counting the first 
few runs.

I lucked out and got an old wine cooler from a neighbor for $100. 
Scrapped out some stuff and reworked the electronics. It can now hold 
two primary fermenters and three secondaries. Currently holding: A 
Belgian Saison, a Koelsch, an Autumn Amber Ale, an IPA and a Pale Ale.

My all time favorite is Belgian Tripel. It clocks in around 8% ABV so 
the car keys must be retired for the night.
