Streaming prices are out of hand. What are cheaper alternatives?

I also recommend Qobuz. They're European and have high quality streaming + the option to buy and album and download it.

If you don't mind the less legal way, you can easily use a program like streamrip and download whatever you want from the service.

And if you don't have the money to spend, they have a trial for a month. Just rip whatever you need and have a nice offline collection. And if you need more, you can just make a start trial with a disposable e-mail.

There's also lucida.to if you don't want to be bothered with any of that.
