Sunlu 8-color 0.25kg PETG packs are on sale at Amazon from the normal $40-50 price and are further eligible for 5-10% S&S discount.
At $15-16 per kg, this isn't the cheapest per kg price but if you want color variety it's a decent deal since you avoid having to buy full 1kg rolls of colors that you won't use much of.
$29.87 with S&S for 'Macaron' color set (Sunny Orange+Lemon Yellow+Mint Green+Sky Blue+Sakura Pink+White+Grey+Black)
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BN657YY3
$32.29 with S&S for standard multicolor set (Black+White+Blue+Green+Red+Orange+Yellow+Pink)

That said, you might eventually want to get a few things:
1. Filament dryer. This would allow to re-dry filament however many times you need, making spools last basically indefinite. While you can get a commercial one, you can build a much better one from a food dehydrator and some 3d printed walls like this one https://www.thingiverse
2. Get a box with a sealing lid and use it for storing filaments. Like this one sold at target/walmart for about $10 (there is ton of mods that you can do to the box): https://www.thingiverse
3. Get a gallon of silica gel and throw it in the box from step 2. The gel would help to absorb the moisture. And when it's too wet - use the dryer from step 1 to make it dry again.
I got a quarter-kg of silk blends a few months back and they're still mostly unused but they've definitely been ideal for a couple designs. Wish more manufacturers did this.

S&S is definitely broken but before checking out you could still sign up. You end up getting it faster but only saving 5%. Better than nothing.
They will be good for a long time sealed, depending on ambient moisture and the brand, they are fine for a while unsealed. Most of my old stuff is fine and it just sits in my 200 year old basement that only has 1 dehumidifier on the the other side of the basement set for 60% humidity.
Try cheap hair spray on glass to make it stick
I tried hairspray and glue (hairspray has glue)
