Community college (at least in Texas) is already pretty damn cheap [0]. Even better, those credits transfer pretty easily to the large universities in the state. I have no idea what other states look like, but going to community college for the first two years and then finishing at a University is hard to beat from a cost perspective. If you live at home and make $10/hour working at McDonald's this is affordable. More so if you spread the time out over more years.
