can i use stepper motor without the driver?

[mahmosha]

its just too expinsive its like 175 g.p for the driver while stepper is 45 g.p
1$=7g.p
so tell me can i use the stepper without the driver?
i have pic16f877a

You don't say 'what thing' is expensive - just 'the driver'.  No idea what you are looking at....
But "yes you need some extra hardware to provide the current required by a stepper motor" - the pins of an mcu cannot provide enough current to drive any kind of motor.

what do i need?

well if can get some cheap transistors, you can use appropriate transistors to make darlington pairs and use them. I'm not sure but i believe IGBTs can also be used ( never used them like this though)
