I'm currently outfitting my new basement gym and resistance bands will feature prominently--mostly because free weights at affordable prices are damn hard to find right now. I am a true believer in terms of bang for buck.
I bought three sets, one to travel with (work mostly) and two to keep at the house. 10/20/30/40/50# resistance bands, two handles, two leg straps, one door anchor. You'll find yourself topping out on the five stacked bands for things like shrugs and squats, so adding individually purchased 50/70/100# bands at roughly $12 ea. is a worthy investment.
I bought a large biner for quick connecting to the anchor strap, playground ladders, stairway railing rungs, etc. This is a must have for every set, so much easier and smoother than running things through the anchor strap, and more versatile. This week I added a straight bar with swiveling eye hooks on each end, which added straight bar curls, squats, upright rows, shoulder press, and other staples to the rotation. If you're invested in resistance bands for strength training, buy this.

I'm building a platform this weekend, that will have multiple symmetrical attachment points on the floor board for safer squats, curls, shrugs, etc. Probably looking at $20-30 and an hour's work to expand the set's utility. Something similar to this but with more attachment points:
This, kettle bells, TRX, a power cage, and a few dumbbells will suffice until free weights drop back south of the price of gold.
The devil made me do it the first time, second time I done it on my own - W
