NAT is $1/day and ELB is 60cents/day. So those can't (although those costs excludes data transfer...) be the biggest line items.

NAT is $1/day *PER* AZ *PER* VPC.
Managed NAT Gateways can be a very substantial cost depending on your architecture. I believe the recommended VPC layout has 3 AZs so you're paying close to $100/month for a single VPC just for NAT.

So your comparison with your $5 local lab is not just less "convenient"!
Do you really need multi-multi-region failover redundancy? Do you really need multiple NATs in every region (it's easy to share one NAT Gateway across AZs, especially so if a region is only servicing DR)? Your numbers still sound high.
x $1 + y $0.60 to make up $30 is a _lot_ of regions/AZs.
