Where do you get your yarn? What tricks do you use to keep costs down for this (potentially expensive) hobby?

Yes, this is a big one.
And also using the yarn I bring into my home. While I've knitted and crochet for 20+ years, I do not own a massive collection of unused yarn nor unfinished big expensive projects.
Only buying yarn for a specific project also helps. Knowing what I want to make and what I need before I go shopping for yarn. It saves one from the stash monster collection.

i use a bunch of drops yarn and i get it on wool warehouse whenever it goes on sale, theyll usually have a rotating selection of their yarns at 30% off almost all the time. it kind of sucks when theres a specific yarn i want and i have to wait a while for it to come back into rotation, but i can get a sweater quantity for 30-40 bucks depending on whether its merino or has mohair or something
