I've been reading about the impeding doom on the prices of malt extracts come next year. So, in my infinite wisdom and trying to save a buck or two, been toying with the idea of buying in bulk. DME is definently easier to measure out but I worry about it's propensity for water, or humidity. I usually brew about once every 3 to 4 weeks, full boil, 5 gallons, extracts.
 
Grain HAS to be cheaper. I mean it was 10+ years ago. Just do your own mash. I ground with a Columbian grain grinder (not perfect!). I mashed and extracted in plastic as my lauter tun, I would sparge my wort directly into my 15 gallon boil kettle.
