My local Sportmans Warehouse used to carry a lot of Geco (Swiss-made) 9mm ammo that was very inexpensive and shot very well in all my 9mm pistols. It was cheaper than either Winchester White Box or Federal American Eagle, but shot cleaner than both. I haven't seen it in a while, though. I really miss it. I've also never had any problem with S&B ammo.

My Colt 1911 in .45ACP has no problem eating up PMC (S. Korean) ammo. It's pretty accurate too. In fact, I've had a lot of success with PMC in general. Their 5.56mm NATO ammo (X-TAC) is noticable cleaner and better-looking than actual Lake City 5.56mm NATO, and shoots just as well.
