You just need a private subnet, not a whole separate VPC. You still need NAT to get outbound access, but instead of running a random EC2 instance for the NAT, AWS now has a NAT you can deploy with a click or API call. You still pay for it, but it's at least much easier to set up and there's no maintenance. I assume they have redundancy and failover and such built in also.
