Your only real option for cheap is to crop it into multiple standard-size photos (4x6, 5x7, 8x10) and order prints through Walmart, Snapfish, etc. To assemble it back into a full photograph you can glue the pictures down onto a piece of cardboard or another paper of similar thickness. If you do it well enough, the seam should not be visible unless you're right on top of it.

I just checked Walmart and they don't have any options for non-standard ratio prints. You can order 11x14 ($4.86), 12x18 ($9.84), 16x20 ($11.86), 20x30 ($15.86) but those are all roughly 4x6 ratios, nothing that will help you with the width of your panorama. I just checked and it appears to be 3x wide...

Although I enjoy making them, I haven't actually printed any large panorama photos personally. However, someone else on the forum recently recommended using EZPrints for large panorama prints. It looks like they charge $3 per linear foot of print charged in 6" increments.

16 x 20 for 4.95 at adorama
or 8 x 10 for 99 cents (print multiple 8 x 10s and paste them together)

I strongly second ezprints. I have used it and gotten excellent results. There is no way in the world you should have to piece together prints for a panoramic. If you were going to be printing lots, you might want to invest in a printer that has a drum feed. My friend got one and it works pretty well, just not as high gloss.

Read my post. 20x30 is not a panorama. It's an enlarged 4x6. What the OP is looking for is the equiv. of an enlarged 4x18.

EDIT: EZprints def. looks like the way to go. It looks like you could get a 6x24 for $5 + S&H or a 12x54 for $20.25 + S&H.

I suppose fitting the panorama inside the 20x30 would be too much to ask

 

[Aharami]

or better yet, you could fit >1 pano inside that 20x30

you can get prints from them in pretty much any oddball dimensions you want. they don't limit you to "standard" sizes or ratios

It's been quite a while since I did any real printing, but it used to be that the Epson line of printers allowed for up to 8.5 x 44 prints (so long as you had paper long enough). This is going all the way back to the Stylus 600s and 740s. Just throwing it out there in case alfa147x has access to one and wants to try that avenue.

cant recommend them enough. good quality prints (not museum quality here, but plenty enough for home decor), very reasonable prices, fast, website is intuitive to work with when printing non-standard ratio images. plus, a couple of times they have sent me two copies of my order for no particular reason...and this was a $70 print!
