I'll agree with the less expensive way to complete a set is to just buy a complete set or at least a near complete set or large lot of cards.
Since I also like to put together sets card by card and miss the enjoyment, I have compromised to complete an insert set that gives me the fun of putting a set together but mot at an outrageous cost. I put together a 1966 Topps Rub-Offs complete set this way. Even with postage, it was not over expensive and got some money back from selling duplicates.
It did take me over 5 years to complete!
