mcvarmit,
You could look at the Celtic Croft's economy line:
http://www.kilts-n-stuff.com/Highlan...s_economy.html
Specifically take a look at the SE04 model for $55
I have an earlier version of it and I think it's a good value for the money.
Here's a picture of me in my formal outfit with it.

Be warned that the sporran chain that come with these are pretty low quality and should be replaced.
Here's McMurdo's review of this very sporran.

You can buy what appears to be exactly the very same sporran directly from Sialkot at less than half that price:

$14 for the sporran, $12 for shipping.
