You can get started cheap with a dirt grow -- mostly depending on wether or not you have a ready made grow space.

Bag o good dirt -- $10.00
Roll of reflective panda plastic -- $25.00
or (wince) aluminum, -- $3.00
or white paint -- $5.00
Pots of various sizes up to 5 gallons -- free if you know where to look
Nutes -- let's say $25.00 for some good stuff(s)
3-prong timer -- $10.00
Lights -- that's where the price varies the greatest. There's $500 light systems and $5.00 light systems
Seeds - price may vary. Use bag seed for first grow unless you have good money to throw away
Fan -- cheap

My first dirt grow cost me about $100 to build a growroom and about $300 for a good light w/reflector. I went with HPS can you can use it in veg and fruit stage. I keep adding stuff to my collection each grow -- pots, nutrients, microscopes. So it adds up over time. I assume at some point I will have everything I need -- though god knows when that will be

For indoor cultivation the rule to follow is "If you go cheap you grow cheap"!

Just remember that.
