John W - Unfortunately your options are limited in the States, you could try medicare if you qualify. The various stores like Krogers, Walmart and Walgreens have their own glucose meters with less expensive test strips. Older insulins like NPV are less expensive by the vial, $30 per 10ml for NPV while newer insulins like Lantus can be almost $200 for five pens, $130 per 10 ml vial. You can always try contacting Charities and Churches. I've often wondered if you can pick up the free syringes that they give out to drug addicts.
TheOrange Evil - Amazon, eBay, and Wal-Mart offer you your cheapest options.
On Amazon, I get my strips about 50% off. eBay can have some good deals, especially if you're willing to buy in bulk. I once got 600 strips for a little over $40. Just check the seller's reputation and the ad to make sure the strips aren't expired and that the seller is above board. Wal-Mart sells the ReliOn brand of meters. They're just as reliable as more expensive meters, although they don't have all the bells and whistles. For example, 50 strips for the ReliOn Confirm meter cost $19.99. The ReliOn Ultima's strips cost $36.00 for 100 strips. Assuming you test once or twice a day, your monthly strips cost will range from $20-40. Not bad. Lancets are cheap and won't have to be purchased every month unless you're changing after each and every test, which is totally unnecessary as long as the needle is still sharp and you're testing on clean fingers.
You can even test your A1c once every three months using the ReliOn Home A1c. The kit costs $9 - you prick your finger onto a piece of paper and mail in the paper to a lab using a prepaid envelope. You get your results in around a week by snail mail or email, whichever you prefer. This is a great alternative to going to the doctor every few months and paying for expensive lab work.
I'll link you to all these options so that you can browse. Good luck!
