Is there a way to reduce load balancer cost with aws?

I use AWS for my businesses, and i have a load balancer for every website of mine, only in order to have HTTPS (because it is easy to setup).

Now the problem is that load balancers costs are related to the quantity of traffic that the website receive, and because i just make money out of the quantity of traffic, i do not get any profit for many months now, so:

-Is there a way to setup HTTPS on an EC2 instance website without having to pay for quantity of traffic ? is ssh commands the only option ? if not i would love to know how, if yes i would love to know how too :)

Thanks a lot for helping me out

You can save money reducing the amount o ALB.
The usage (traffic) will be the same, so you will not save money on this, but you pay also for each ALB hours.

You can have just one ALB with many target groups (each one for each site).
On this one ALB you can have many certificate also.
