For the absolute cheapest, you can get them for $15 on Amazon, $12 at Walmart.com, $11 on eBay and so on, and there's always Harbor Freight parking lot sales if you have one local to and you get lucky. I've no clue what you'd be risking by scraping the bottom of the barrel, but the reviews on the amazon one are good, at least.

And I use a .090 2.2 mm
Use the dial indicator to “rough in” the bed and the feeler gauge to check the bed and fine tune.
Here’s the least expensive one on Amazon.
But if you’re going to throw money at this issue, wouldn’t an automatic bed leveler be the best approach?
You can get them off of amazon for cheap. this one is the one I designed this clip for.
I had the same issues, someone gave me the advice of stop using the paper/card/whatever and go buy a set of feeler gauges like this one and a very inexpensive dial indicator. Use the 0.10mm feeler gauge to level it, I tend to go a little low on my leveling as in you can tell the nozzle is grabbing but not enough that you can't move the feeler with your fingers. Depending on what indicator you use (search Thingiverse for CR-10 dial indicator for a good list) print out a holder that fits your model. Once you have that level with the feeler again but only do one corner, set your Z to 10 and set the indicator to zero, go to all four corners and level them to the zero corner you set. Always make sure after you are done to go back to the "zero corner" and reset it, moving the other three corners may throw off the original.
This has helped me with so much frustration in the past. I had maybe one good print until I found this, now I have almost no failed.
tl;tr watch this, he does a better explanation
That is pretty cool, I might end up doing this. The dials are nice and cheap on Amazon too.
