How Long Should I Use Formula?

Since my daughter's birth, I have breast-fed her, supplementing with a bottle about twice a week. I am in the process of weaning her from the breast. She's 5 months now, and I hope--by 6 or 7 months--she'll be fully weaned. She's a great eater--beans, peas, sqush,fruits,meats. Since formula is so expensive, and she's getting good nutrition--how long do I need to keep her on it after weaning. How many bottles should I give her if she's eating, and drinking water? And, lastly, is there anything else she can safely drink--like milk, or yogurt?...
