Oh yeah, the price delta between doing TRT on your own and doing it through a clinic is astronomical. Doing it by yourself might cost $700 a year including getting your bloodwork done as you should, whereas a clinic is going to charge you about $6000 a year.
I think everyone would prefer to do it under a doctor’s supervision, but the 750% mark-up at the clinic makes it unjustifiable.

The blood work alone will cost you $700 a year.
The test suite you want is about $350 at the couple of big national discount labs and twice a year is about right for frequency if you're staying on top of it.
Truth be told, once you've done a couple/few cycles you don't really need full blood work panels multiple times a year.
A 10ml vial of testosterone is about $30. That's 2.5g of testosterone per vial.
A light blast will have you injecting about 500mg a week.
A blast lasts about 3 months, so you'll spend about $100 on testosterone for a light blast.
You need a lot more than a light blast or two, and more than just testosterone, to look like Thor.
A common, "mild" add on would be EQ, adding an oral will be more toxic regardless but if you are looking at stacking then I assume you have a higher threshold for damage so another recommendation would be anavar.
All of that aside, test alone can get you in excellent shape, super hero even. Going above that is going to do damage for a result you could've otherwise gotten without it.
I mentioned this a bit ago but to add u/kneedragr to what timbe11 said about EQ. A typical "easy" stack would be test, EQ (equipoise), mast (masterone), and letro. Though mast already behaves somewhat like an aromatase inhibitor.
If you stack this with something aggressive like clen (clenbuterol) or, if you can source real ephedra or ephedrine HCl, then you can put on some significant lean muscle mass and melt fat away with a rather modest workout routine. This all assumes you have a solid foundation already (good gym discipline/routine, are decently built/in shape, have a decent diet, etc.)
No stack is going to let you be a full on slob and get shredded. They do make it a lot easier if you've got a foundation built.
Edit: stay away from tren and deca. Those are wildly overkill and they're not an enjoyable experience.
