If you want to shoot film in 2024 the best way is probably to buy a bulk loader for 35mm film into used canisters, keep it in your fridge. Bulk load Kentmere and process it yourself (in Rodinal).
There is outlay for your Pattison tank, a bulk loader and some quality masking tape, then it's pennies. Probably £4 a roll all-in.
For me the 'cost' of analogue photography is time (spent scanning - which I don't really like).
