This is the book I use. It's out of print, that's why the price is so high. Recently Dr. Becker said there would be a new book some time this year.

There's a lot of reading/learning with feeding a raw diet so that you ensure you are feeding a balanced diet. Some resources that would be useful include this book by Karen Becker and Beth Taylor. Additionally, here is Dr. Becker's Youtube channel that also has lots of information. Head over to /r/rawpetfood too (it's not as active as this sub though).
Food costs for me are significantly cheaper on a raw diet ($30/month) compared to Orijen (which I used to feed) and Ziwipeak ($80/month) (which I currently feed alongside raw).
My homemade recipe came from https://www.amazon.com/Beckers-Real-Food-Healthy-Dogs/dp/0982533128/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1506636504&sr=8-1&keywords=karen+becker - unfortunately this book in out of print, thus the high price on Amazon.
The book has different ways in balancing a homemade diet and depending on which route you take, supplements may be required. I settle on the recipe of this book because it uses common ingredients that are easily sourced and Dr. Becker is someone I trust.
