We buy it in large quantities.  We just bought some heavy steel 2 pieces 30x30x2" thick weighing in at #840 and costing $430 (thats with the flame cut charge), and 2 pieces 3/4" thick 6x4 angle 20' long for about $500.  All from PDM, works out to about 50-55 cents a pound.  The trick is to never buy cut lengths, shop around, and buy in quantity.  We use PDM, Guntert, Tube Service, and when we feel like getting ripped off State Steel.

I hear you, its not my money, and I don't make those decisions.  If we need something yesterday, and state has it, then we buy it.
