Maybe buy a little mixer from harbor freight and share with friends.

Concrete is probably cheaper from bags and sand.  You might find a local 
concrete guy with a gasoline mortar mixer who will do it, if they are short 
of work.  Ask around for mason types who do slabs, etc.  They can bring or 
order sand and gravel.  You can probably save a bit by getting the Portland 
cement yourself.

Also, talk to the readymix people about your job.  They frequently have 
leftovers or loads people decline and might be willing to make a deal if 
your schedule is flexible.  I used to get it free, but they have gotten 
stingy  lately.
