I started with the Lee Anniversary kit, which gives you a single stage press, priming tool, dies for one caliber, powder measure, funnel, and scale for about $70. I figured that at that price, it I didn't enjoy it, I wouldn't be out much money. Originally I started with 44 Sp and given the factory prices of 44 Sp ammo, I have already recovered my investment. Plus I found I enjoyed it, so I have bought dies for 9 mm and 45 ACP as well. This is one of those things though that if you enjoy it, you pretty soon find all sorts of additional gadgets that you just have to have. I still think I am ahead though. Midway generally has deals on the Lee Anniversary kit.
