I just got into home brewing over the last year. The process is a lot easier than expected. You can yield about 5 gallons of beer for about $40, USD. The initial start up cost to get the gear wasn't unreasonable either.
I haven't brewed in forever. There used to be a brew shop I would go to that was an hour from me. They closed and now the closest place is 4 hours from me so I'll probably have to order grains online.
Same here! I even found most my stuff second hand off craigslist / Facebook marketplace. So far have made a great peanut butter porter, coconut milk stout and hefeweizen.
Obviously different beers range in price, but most of the yeast and hops I have built up a stash on hand. Generally when I go to the store I only need the grains for the most part.

You have some pretty cheap ingredients. Beers I made were generally closer to $60.
