A couple things that help are having a large group of people you know with a vast swathe of interests, going to a maker space, or sometimes even the local library can have info or supplies for things.
Or dipping your toes in on a budget if you can afford it
Edit: Or one thing that kinda helps me is trying to only branch into similar hobbies to ones you have the supplies for. Though I'm not too good at that either... hench the shelf.
