Last I looked, the Sierras quit being "cheap" as well.
If you're after lowest price, probably Hornady interlocks. I prefer Speer hot cores myself. Truth is, though, I haven't shot anything but premium bullets (partitions, accubonds, etc) for deer, other than in lever actions, in over 20 years. Deer hunting is a thing to be savored. I get to do it once a year. It's not a place to save money. That's like having your only beer of the year be a light beer when your heart wants a stout.
