I don't know about the not saving bit, the price of store-bought lead handgun bullets around here (central Virginia) typically went up 100-115% over a matter of a couple of months starting either late last summer or early fall. A box of 500 .45 ACP 230 gr. RNs had been $24.95. Now they are $54.95. You are right though in that I need to seriously look into what it takes to start casting my own bullets. I have been saving and scrounging wheel weights for years now (I keep telling myself) towards that end.
