Cheap. Deicing fluid is actually the same as antifreeze or gycol. That's what my local airport used on the small planes when the pilots requested it and it works like a charm! It's a clearish red oily/pastey fluid.
ACTUALLY... real deicing fluid is not Cheap! dumping antifreeze on a small plane MIGHT keep a clean aircraft from freezing for a short period of time, but it will not de-ice it. De-icing fluid is applied between 160-180 degrees. Prices range anywhere from $10-22 PER GALLON. Far from cheap.

The cost depends on the type of aircraft and the location of the launch. If it's your plane on your field, the cost is only fuel.
Where can you buy ethylene glycol?
Are you trying to make your own deicing fluid? Look in the phone book for chemical supply companies; Hexion Specialty Chemicals is who I always bought stuff from, and they'll bring you a drum of ethylene glycol. Note the quantity: they don't want to talk to you for less than 55 gallons of anything. Then again, if you're deicing aircraft you'll use that much. You can get a liter of it from Sigma-Aldrich for $77.80. You can get a gallon of deicing fluid for twenty dollars, and you can get a gallon of automotive antifreeze for around $10. Unless you are planning to make a huge amount of whatever it is you're making, or you need absolutely pure ethylene glycol for research purposes, buying pure glycol is economically foolish.

How much does it cost to deice an aircraft?
De-icing an aircraft involves spraying the outside of the aircraft, especially the control surfaces, with hot air blowers, hot water and an alcohol-based fluid. The fluid is the most expensive component, costing about $15/litre. A medium-sized airliner will need between 200-300 litres of fluid or $3,000 - $4,500 to de-ice. If the weather is very extreme, it could take 1,000 litres ($15,000) to clear a large aircraft, like a B747.
