The bulk deals at Bambu were pretty inline price wise with china filament- I was getting it under $14 a kilo. and I do like their refillable spools reducing overall waste and taking up way less storage space in my cabinet. But yeah none of that's worth it at this point, and their bulk deals are all mostly gone.

I mostly use Sunlu at ~$10/spool. Also refillable.

When the hell did sunlu come out with refillable spools??

V3, a couple years ago, I think.

Goddamn maybe I'll go back to them then. Thats hot.

When I was in college we used a lot of Sunlu in the engineering makerspace I was part of, but I haven't really seen their stuff since I graduated, which is like 3 years ago. They were still using the solid black spools then.
