Effort and Diminishing Returns

Hello all, first time posting here and have a question I can't seem to find an answer for.

I use a Chemex to brew 0.5L of coffee in the morning and drink it over the next 3-5 hours from a Thermos. I use pre-ground coffee.

I have been thinking about grinding the beans myself in the morning but I'm not sure if the benefits will be worth the extra effort since it will sit in a Thermos for a while.

The beans I would be grinding would be bought from a supermarket until I'd want to try something else.

Should I start grinding my own beans?

Some more info: I started to make my own coffee in order to save money. I brew 20-30g coffee per 0.5L and would like to remain under a dollar a cup. So a cheap quality hand grinder recommendation would also be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
