In terms of cell culture media and other consumables, what's the cheapest eukaryotic cell to culture?

FBS is expensive, serum-free alternatives for cells that require FBS are even more expensive.

Even HeLa cells require 10% FBS.

Are there any cell lines out there that can be grown for cheaper than F12 + FBS?

Edit: Aside from yeast. Preferably vertebrate. Sorry yeast biologists, I won't forget about you again!
