Just make it yourself. The cost of ingredients may feel like a hit when you buy them online (Amazon has all of them), but from those ingredients, you make TONS of kimchi. Plus, kimchi is a base for a ton of other cheap meals, so in my mind it is worth the initial cost hit for the benefit down the road.

I use Maangchi's recipe for kimchi and many other Korean recipes (http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/easy-kimchi). Harder to find ingredients include:

Sweet Rice flour -- $5 at Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/GLUTINOUS-FLOUR-1x16OZ-ERAWAN-THP/dp/B005WG1VRI/ref=sr_1_6?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1451764193&sr=1-6&keywords=mochiko)

Gochugaru -- $10 for a 1 lb bag (http://www.amazon.com/Korean-Chili-Flakes-Gochugaru-Tae-kyung/dp/B005G8IDTQ)

Fish Sauce -- $13 for Red Boat fish sauce, which I recommend, but there are cheaper kinds as well (http://www.amazon.com/Red-Boat-Sauce-Fluid-Ounce/dp/B00K6ZJ1W2/ref=sr_1_2?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1451764337&sr=1-2&keywords=fish+sauce)

Maangchi uses squid to help the fermentation, but I prefer salted shrimp. Those will be the things that are a bit harder to find, so you may want to opt out of that. By poking around on Maangchi's website, you can get other ideas for things that will help the fermentation.

So this brings the initial investment of harder to find ingredients to about $30. While it seems like a lot, those ingredients will last you though multiple batches of kimchi. And each batch I make with one head of cabbage makes TONS. The kimchi is also great to add to other cheap foods (scrambled eggs with kimchi thrown in; minced and tossed in stir fry; chopped with some juice to add to instant ramen), so the initial investment will help you out later.
