Don't do colour at home, unless you have proper machines and know really well what you're doing.
A 'reel & sealed pot' method won't get you anywhere with C41.
B&W at home is not much of a problem, and it's rather cheap, yes.
But if there's a place nearby that offers a deal on dev + scans I'd go that route.
It's convenient, developement is perfect / consistent, and in the end you have both,
neatly bagged negs, as well as neat scans.
It really does save a lot of time (& energy / nerves).
