When I was in grad school, as an exercise we had to come in with a reed blank (wrapped but not scraped) and scrape it down in 10 minutes to play on for the rest of the lesson. I certainly don't always make reeds this fast, but I learned a lot from having to get something to play on RIGHT THEN. Because really, that is what it's all about when you have a concert in an hour!
In general, I don't think you save much making your own reeds. Since I've had my son I decided my time was worth more practicing than making reeds so I buy mine from a fabulous local reedmaker. I pay about $40/month but it is great to never worry about it. I suppose I'll go back to making my own someday (son is now in school!) but this is working fine for me now.
