The easy option for getting the cheapest possible bait is to avoid boilies, but I really do feel that in most scenarios that would hinder your fishing greatly.
One option to look at is pellets, which is another bait that carp simply love. You can add them into the mix, or get a single bag and make it last you the season for just using in bags. The Bloodworm pellets, in particular, let off loads of attraction without any additives, which will help pull the fish in with minimal food.
The carp have been reared on pellets on most of the lakes that I fish, so it can really help to get more bites. These two are the more expensive options, but essential in my eyes. The cheaper items that I am about to go through play a big role when I am fishing over lots of bait. I treat the pellets and boilies as the treats because I nearly always fish a boilie of some description on the hair.
The main bulk of the bait is hemp. It is one of the all-time classics and will always attract carp. They love it and will keep on eating it without getting too full. It is not as cheap as it used to be but it still works out pretty cheap once you have cooked it.
I have found it is best to go to a pet store or search online. Animal feed places stock it and this is where I get most of mine. Tom uses a lot of hemp, it's always his base for any spod mix. It can be quite time-consuming cooking it, especially if you are fishing regularly. I like to spend an afternoon cooking up a large batch and separating it into buckets before freezing it. My fishing is all about regularly feeding the swim, constantly topping up little and often, and this is what normally brings on the bites and multiple hits.
Hemp allows me to do this without putting out loads of boilies. I have no doubt that in some cases if I put out just boilies it would catch me more carp. However, with me using hemp as the main bulk, the boilies become even more desirable to the carp when they are competing for food and there is more chance of them picking up my hook bait. The other key ingredient to my mix that is also cheap and cheerful is sweetcorn.
I have the frozen bags in the freezer, which you can buy for less than a quid for a kilo! Some sessions I may only use half a bucket of bait, other times it can be three or four, which is why I take plenty of spare with me, just in case.
I always have a bag or two of shelf-life boilies in the back of the van too. You can always get artificial versions of sweet-corn and bread but that links right back to the original problem of baits being too expensive, however, we have found some really good fake sweetcorn online that has worked well for us, you can find it here.

Yes, it is a brilliant stand-alone hookbait due to its inherent attractive properties, but it works so well in conjunction with the background feed of The Key. This bait development is getting away from just another round single hookbait scenario, as explained earlier, the carp just find the bait irresistible, and that is easy to understand why as we are providing the ultimate natural attraction and also nutrients that they find hard to acquire.

Finally, is the full range in the shops yet? If not, how much longer before anglers can get their hands on the products?
As it turned out, I was the only one to be using it, with the other lads opting for TG, 4G Squid or their own favourite from the Nash stable. Perhaps it being so soft had put them off? I resisted the temptation to go overboard and fished for a bite at a time, baiting with a kilo of 20mm baits per rod. That gave me immediate confidence, and on the third day I banked a giant mirror of 30kg 66lb.
