It can be, but does not need to be expensive. Many canning items can be purchased cheaply second hand. Just make sure if doing so, that you inspect them. Jars should be free of chips and cracks. Rings should be round, unbent, and rust free.

Once you stock up on jars, buy your canner, jar lifter or tongs, strainer, food mill, and other basic supplies, expenses are low. You'll need only to buy canning salt, new lids (always use a new lid per jar) occasionally you'll need to purchase new rings when your used ones become rusty, maybe sure-gel, etc. Getting started is when canning is the most costly; after that you can preserve food at very little cost.
