Here are some other common and inexpensive metals:
* Aluminum: Often used in cans and foil.
* Copper: Used in wiring and plumbing.
* Zinc: Used in galvanizing steel and making brass.
* Lead: Used in batteries and plumbing (although use is declining due to its toxicity).
* Tin: Used in cans and solder.
The "most" common and inexpensive metal depends on how you define it. By weight, iron is the most abundant metal in the Earth's crust, making it readily available and generally affordable.
