Check the Radio Shack stores in your area that are going out of business. Some of those up here still had a lot of antenna related inventory when they got down to 80 & 90 percent off.
I've seen these going for $17.20:

and lots more...like all the hardware and cables you'd want for an installation.
As far as those small flimsy plastic antennas with the built in rotors, many advertise as much as 150-mile range. Okay, maybe if you have a 1,000 foot tower that may be believable. Lots of the online reviews I've seen indicate many can't handle wind, they freeze up and won't turn when icy, and many with the built in amplifiers die after the first electrical storm passes. I'd like to try a few in comparison to my Radio Shack VU-210, but I wouldn't count on them performing well at all, or lasting through a winter.
