If you own a computer (and it looks like you do) then you can spend a little dough and get a simple recording setup to let you play/record on your puter. Then you can cut the CDs yourself and sell them to “support”.

Send them to local radio stations and ask them to play it. In Utah we have a whole show dedicated to unsigned music, I am sure there is something similar where you are.

Never underestimate the ability to ask for favors, ask your friends, they may know someone who owns a studio and will give you an hour of two for free on a Saturday night or something.
