how do I get copyrighted photos without the huge price tag ?

Like those photos I see on getty images or whatever. I want some of them but just for my own use. I can't find any way of getting the cost to be less than $250 per image. How is that possible, or am I missing something??
I have tried countless stock photo websites but they're all really expensive.

How is anyone, like companies or journalists, how are they supposed to be able to afford anything if it costs them over $200 per image and they use images every day??

Is there any sort of way I can work it to get the cheapest even if I don't use it ? For example for pricing it asks if you'll be using it on a website or showing it publicly or something but if it's just for your own use then what should I pick? I thought of educational or something but it's not and it's not getting handed out to lots of people like educational material usually is, although educational materials are usually given cheaper as far as I know.

I don't really know how it works since i'm not wanting to buy images as part of my job ??
