Forget free or cheap... Do the world, a dog and yourself a favour and rescue a dog. The adoption fee is nominal (~$150?), but the rewards are much greater.
It may be hard to believe, but animals are well aware of their old lives compared to their new lives. You'll never meet a more appreciative dog than one that got "sent to the pound" by crappy people and rescued by someone that actually put a little consideration into the decision to get a pet.
