Reloading vs Bought

I've lately been shooting sporting clays. Average about 3 times a month and one of the guys in our party is a gun dealer who has offered to sell us clay rounds at cost just for us and only what we need to shoot on sundays at the range (which I think is a very kind offer).
I have a problem with that. Personally, I'm cheap. If I can save $.25 or $.50 a box and enjoy the time I spend reloading, why would I do manufactured ammo. Then again, if it were cheaper to buy manufactured ammo would I want to give up on rolling my own, something I do enjoy,....
What would you guys do? Let's here.

I have much better luck with the formulas given to me from some seasoned 12 ga. shooters- this you just can't buy at wallymart. It's worth it.
Don't have the places to hunt like I used to.
If you don't care about accuracy, reloading 9mm is barely worth it, if you can buy surplus stuff in bulk. In my experience, reloading just about anything else (.45, .38 super, etc.) has almost always been worth it.
