Royal Road To Card Magic is pretty much the Bible for beginners. and is under a tenner ($20ish if you're an American).

I'll give my usual recomendation of Mark Wilsons Complete Course, covers lots of different areas of magic and is brilliant as a grounding.

Buy it together with Bobos modern coin magic and that's only $19.51 for the set. There's enough material in the two of those to keep you busy for a very very looong time.

This is the third or fourth posting in the last few days which asks how to get magic cheaply. The simple answer is that magic isn't cheap, and never will be - there is always a cost involved to properly reward the creators and authors of magic. Having said that, it doesn't need to cost the earth because, as has been suggested already, books are relatively inexpensive and will contain several dozen ideas and routines which work out at only cents (or pence!) per trick. Use the Search Function to find out more, it's a free facility so help yourself and enjoy!
