I finally spent $40 on a changing bag for loading my film and it saved me from ruining three rolls in my bright apartment.
Has anyone found a cheaper or better way to load film without a darkroom?

A changing bag is a solid investment for sure. My best cheap trick was using a thick black trash bag inside a closet at night, with my arms already in the sleeves. It worked for years before I upgraded to a proper bag.

Oh, I feel that pain. I've had so many rolls fogged from a tiny sliver of light under a door. Did you try the blanket fort method? I used to crawl into a closet with a heavy quilt over my head, sweating and hoping for the best. It always felt like a gamble, and losing a roll of vacation shots that way is just heartbreaking. That bag sounds like money well spent for the peace of mind alone.
