Another cheap alternative is to buy a set of extension tubes. You put these on between the camera and a lens you already have. The lens' quality isn't degraded at all, and since you move the lens away from the sensor, you're able to focus closer. If you use a 50mm lens and 50mm worth of extension tubes, you achieve a 1:1 ratio.
I once borrowed a set from a friend and got some cool shots with them. The cheapy ones don't allow for a lot of auto-features, so you may have to set the aperture manually and focus manually, depending on which ones you use, but in true macro photography, you'll find that you use manual focus anyway. You also lose light, so you may have to bump up the ISO to get a shutter speed fast enough to not blur (if you're not using a tripod).
