Traveling is expensive, the entry is not cheap, insurance and doctors note and all that, but all in all it hasn't been incredibly expensive for me. I've done my two previous TCRs on a Surly Steamroller with a good and reliable parts bin setup and big part of my gear has been second hand or ortherwise cheap. In all of those three TCRs together I've only once paid to sleep indoors. I often buy food from shops as it's pretty fast, selection convenient and it's cheap if you're not in Switzerland. I did buy a new bike last year and have upgraded some gear, mostly as they wear out, and try to buy good where I can, but it's not about the gear really, if it just works. The weather is mostly pretty nice and you don't need a lot of gadgets.
