I've never made relish. I always buy it. A little bit of pickle relish juice in macaroni salad gives it a wonderful taste and people always want to know what the "secret" ingredient is.

It isn't necessarily less expensive to make your own unless you already have the needed tools, but if you do and have a garden growing the produce you need also it is great! And every time you use it you know what is in it! LOL
