You do bring up a good point about big name stars costing a lot of money. I remember reading something a while back that the reason Mary Elizabeth Mastratonio (AKA Nick's Mom) wasn't in that many episodes in Season 2 and 3 was because of the shows budget restraints.
However I'm sure they could find a big name actor that really enjoys the show and may be willing to take less money to appear on the show. I know American Horror Story is close to bringing Neil Patrick Harris aboard for an episode or two this season because he's a big fan of the show.
I remember seeing an interview with David Guintoli and Silas Weir Mitchell regarding possible guest stars and they both mentioned that Gary Busey was supposedly a big fan of the show. I know that he doesn't really qualify as a big name but he definitely has a recognizable face
Also after Nick's Mom was introduced, David was asked who he would like to see cast as his dad if his dad were to make an appearance and he said Andy Garcia. I could totally see Andy Garcia being a Grimm and he looks a lot like Nick so that doesn't hurt either.
