I actually I didn't use one set of new tires for this years outdoor regionals, still did ok though
Usually at nationals I run whatever I have lying around in practice and round 1, new set to do 2 and 3, then a second new set for 4 and the final. Currently I'm the limiting factor not my cars, as there's been situations at nationals where I've put some new rubber on and made a small mistake costing a couple of seconds which negated the point of putting new tires on.
Throughout the year I might use £20's worth of shock seals and (with the Checkpoint's anyway) a couple of pairs of brushes per car and thats it. Excluding nationals the biggest expense for me is usually booking in fee's
