Following (1998) by Christopher Nolan Made on a $6,000 budget, arguably used B&W for financial reasons. These days it's the cheapest to shot on digital, no reason to use B&W to save money. That was done for a similar reason as Clerks from 1994 - Nolan has been quoted as saying the choice to use B&W was made due to the fact that they could use the only inexpensive lighting they had available, and also doing so would require less lighting overall so setting up and taking down would be quicker (the film was shot on weekends over many months, possibly a full year). So I'd say that is the latest I've heard B&W being chosen for financial reasons, unless the OP revises his question to only include the cost of the film stock and developing it.
