Any of the free cats in your local newspaper, marketplace, craigslist… or just contact your local animal shelters - they will be overjoyed to give you a cat.
Genetically diverse, free-range, cats tend to be healthier than purebred cats anyway. So from a maintenance perspective, a free-range cat is much more cost effective.
Purebred breeds are just another way of saying inbred, which means lots of health complications
My least expensive option was the local cat shelter. They have a ton of cats and the small fee I paid was to cover sterilization, mainly. It was actually cheaper than it would have been to get a free cat off a marketplace and get it sterilized.
