Cheapest way from PPL to CPL?

Hi guys,


I'm new here but I have used the site before, can't believe I didn't sign up earlier.

My question is - what is the cheapest way I can get to a CPL from a PPL? The costs involved in becoming a commercial pilot, for me as a student anyway, are HUGE. If we take Cranfield flying school as an example, a PPL would cost around £10,000. I feel like when I start working in a few years' time, I'd be able to pay for that. But the CPL, another £11,000, and from what I understand I have to have a night rating, IR and ME rating, which all also cost more money (correct me if I'm wrong and don't need these). The prices can be found on there website. Is this really the cheapest way possible to get a CPL from a PPL?
