Dumbbell plates are a friend for life. The ones I bought in 2020 I still use every day.

You got choices. If your weight bench is standard, the weights can be a lot more affordable. If they're Olympic you'll be able to use them anywhere for anything.

Also you can use either for dumbells too, which is awesome. The folks that buy fixed weight dumbells when they're first starting out is absurd and a massive waste of money. Even if you're just purchasing enough weights for dumbells that you're only maxing out at 30lbs, you've opened up a world of other exercises that you cannot do with two fixed 30lb dumbells. You have a ton of options with various exercise and can do all sorts of progressive overload. Then if you stick with it and grow, you can invest some more money later.

Pricing wise, precovid a good price was $1/lb now it's around double that. Your best bets are always around this time of year where people have abandoned their new years resolutions and looking to sell. Used weights are functionally the same as brand new ones.
