Is it cheaper?
When traveling from Seattle to Boston, to use Highway #2 to Sault-Ste-Marie to Montreal then down 35 and 89 to Boston? Rather than travel the major highways in the US and pay the tolls? yes we know ...

Get on I-90 East and go to Boston. If you don't have an EZ-Pass get one it will save you money and time, get one for your toad two as it will be handy in the Boston area or anywhere you drive in the north east.
I drove US2 this summer from Sault-Ste-Marie to Duluth. It isn't that great of a road. I wouldn't go that way unless you have lots of time.
You halve to decide how much time you want to waste not taking toll roads. I think if you don't drive the NY thruway it will take at least another day maybe two to cross NY. You will also need to watch for low bridges narrow bridges and low weight limit bridges. Yes I have driven some back, non freeway roads in New England and NY.
You can get a EZ-Pass on line or stop at the first store in the first state you come to that is affiliated. In your case I think Illinois is the first state.

NO I86 to I 88 only 1/2 hour longer than Thruway and NO TOLL through New York
But they were pot holed beyond belief in 2014. any better now.
