The cheapest way I've found is 80/20's ebay store. I bought a large portion of my material from them and it was all in good shape - just minor nicks and scratches. The other way is to find a supplier that will sell you used material. Sometimes they will buy it back from factories that no longer need it. If you buy it new, it will all be the same price.

Automation4less.com has both metric and inch extrusions for a pretty decent price. The have both Bosch style and 8020 style extrusions. The bottom line is, profile aluminum extrusions are not cheap.
