The absolute cheapest you will pay for a passport if you never had one before is $97.00. There is absolutely no way to get around the big cost (renewals are cheaper).
You can print out the US passport forms online and search for a local servicing center. You need to have two photos (they take it at many passport servicing centers or get it at a photo development store like Wolf's Camera). It will cost around $97.00 and take approximately 8-10 weeks to arrive at your home. To expedite the request you can also pay an extra $60.00.

If you like, you can also go to many US Postal Centers to also complete the paperwork (go to www.usps.com/locator to find the nearest post office that handles passport applications.
Currently passports are taking about 10 weeks for the Passport Agency to process.
You can also go to your nearest passport agency, though they are in limited cities and you need to schedule an appointment in advance - http://travel.state.gov/passport/about/a...

I don't know of any way of getting a discount on passport. You can apply through passport agency directly or post office but price is the same.
