I have seen good flashes such as the Vivitar or Sunpak at flea markets and the like for $5, but with a digital camera you must make sure that the voltage of any older one is safe (there are websites) or get an accessory that makes it safe.

While these do carry some QC issues, they offer a whole lot of bang for the buck. — Neil
