I've recently purchased Schaum's Elementary, Intermediate and College Algebra texts and I'm loving the extra practice and the chance to familiarize myself with the material.

Are there any other similar books out there for cheap? I've considering buying old editions of the various Algebra-Precalculus books and just recycling problems from those but they can be a little pricy.

there's Axler: Precalculus. It has solutions for a lot of problems. However, I don't think giving solutions to people is the way to teach them mathematics.
