I don't spend a dime on a rangefinder. Learned how to judge the distance by participating in 3D archery events, where rangefinders were prohibited. For rifle, set up the scope to set up within four inches, plus or minus, on hits, out to 300 or so yards, if longer shots were expected.
The old ways in hunting, sure saved money. New ways find ways to spend, spend, and spend.
The longer I hunt, the cheaper it seems to get.
I saved some money on winter gear last year for a hiking friend of myself and me. It would be embarrassing to tell. But not for me to do. I sure love to save money. The hiking buddy learned last year and this year. I saved so much, I bought both the gear.
