I'm going to Columbia College which I doubt is the cheapest, but they do accept all CLEP and DSST tests.
Maybe there's a campus by you or try the online route (I've taken a few online classes they're not that bad).

Depends on what you want.

I'm always happy to complete the free application waiver for those applying to WGU (I get a free gift from WGU for this). Just PM me your first/last name and a valid email so I can complete their form.

Are you trying to earn a degree or just take courses? If it's the latter, you can give one of these a try:
Clovis Community College in New Mexico costs non-residents $99/credit:
Tuition
University of Idaho costs $100/credit (not sure if this is just for residents):
Course Fees-Independent Study in Idaho-University of Idaho
University of Arkansas costs non-residents $105.25/credit:
Tuition & Fees
These are the cheapest I know about. You can find more, which also have increased costs per credit, here: Sources of Credit - Degree Forum Wiki
BA in History, TESC, Graduated September 2010
MA in History, American Public University, currently pursuing
Virginia teaching license, currently pursuing
Check out Degree Forum Wiki for more information on putting together your own degree plan!

New Mexico Junior College is cheap for non-residents. Check with your state's local community colleges. Texas CCs charge about $50-something per credit hour in-district and $70-something in-state but out-of-district. The cheapest four year schools I have found with fully online programs for non-residents are Fort Hays State University, Peru State College, and Chadron State College. However, I could attend in-state even cheaper in Texas.

You're paying for "credit" when you pay tuition. If you don't need the paper, just take continuing ed or online freebies.

If you just want to learn for the sake of learning then you can't beat the price of a library card. Then you have all of the free offerings online like Coursera, FEMA, NFA, Udacity, etc.

Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.
Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.
Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.
Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.
Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.

TEEX also offers free cybersecurity courses from the Department of Homeland Security. Not free, but ed2go offers pretty cheap courses that could probably be used for continuing education credit. I like LearnersTV.com because it has all of these YouTube, college lectures nicely organized. Penn Foster has cheap certificate and career diploma programs that can be used for continuing education or career training.
