The cheapest foundation of all is foundationless. If you have wax to trade in wax foundation would probably be next. What kind of foundation are you looking for?

Check the suppliers near you to cut down on the shipping cost. Where are you located?

The Mann Lake PF-100 frames w/plastic 4.9mm foundation are popular, especially with their free shipping policy.

I will have to fall on the foundationless side of the argument. However, that said, it is usually good to put one frame of foundation in to give the bees a guideline or else the foundation may get built all over the place. Scratch that if you already have some built out foundation/frames to plop in instead.
