What does one gargoyle gecko's food cost you per month?

I'm adding up all the costs of owning a gargoyle gecko (I suppose it would probably be the same for crested and chahouas, too; not sure about leachies).
What does the Pangea/Respashy fruit mix cost per month? How long does an eight or sixteen ounce bag/bottle last?
What do crickets (eventually I would feed an adult silkworms, too; can they eat hornworms and other worms? I know mealworms and waxworms have no nutritional value), calcium, and vitamins cost per month? Do you use Zoo Med Repti Calcium With D3 Supplement? If so, how long will a twelve ounce or forty-eight ounce container last?
I know technically insects aren't necessary because there are meal replacement foods containing insects, but I think I'd rather do the insects as well as the regular fruit mix. Oh, and are all of the Repashy formulas called "Superfood?" I thought that only referred to insect-included fruit mixes. Do they have one without them?
Thanks in advance.

i have a bunch of different CGD flavors which i rotate. they only really last up to a year in the fridge, but i use a 1/2 teaspoon per feeding, and that gets me thru 2 days. not sure what it costs, but pennies a day i suspect.
