You have been lead astray. There is no money saving in reloading. Once you enter you will buy and buy. Heck you will buy stuff you only think you need. You will buy dies for calibers you don't yet have and then go buy a gun to match it!!
The little things are just that, little and cheap. There is no big savings in making lube, how much does it cost and how much do you use?? Peanuts. Same with tumbling media. Folks think it's cheap buying at a pet store. A pet store is like buying stuff for a BOAT. It is expensive.
If you want cheap media Harbor Freight has walnut blasting media and Zoro tools has corn media in 40 lbs bags deliver free to your door. That is enough for the rest of your life,. Not the Lizard bedding.
If you do not care about shiny surgical bras, just wash it in soap and water, add some vinegar, rinse well and let dry. It will be just fine, Use 2 plastic buckets.
Case lube, buy a tube of LEE case lube for less than $2 and mix it with isopropyl alcohol. Or if you want to supply the whole neighborhood go to Lowes and buy Wire pulling lube, Enough for 10 lifetimes,
The best way to not spend to much is mentioned above. Buy your powder and primers in bulk online. Yes you plunk down big money but it will save you in the long run.
Buy at least 8lbs or more of powder and 10,000 primers for one haz mat fee.
This is just the consumables, not talking press and dies and all that.
