As others have mentioned, you can do mono-colored decks pretty effectively for pretty cheap. I've seen big green Omnath worth maybe $50 decks do well at tables with multiple decks worth $500 or more.
Some choices I'd recommend:
Green: Omnath, Ezuri, Vela, Asuza
Red: Godo, Urabrask the Hidden
Blue: Azami. Note that Talrand can also be made very cheaply, but is ultimately a very linear and uninteresting general. I wouldn't recommend him, personally, but people do have different playstyles.
Black: Geth, Mikaeus the Unhallowed, Chainer
White: Kemba, Mikeaus the Luminarch, Odric
If you decide to go multi-colored, you are likely going to be putting more into your mana base if you want it to run efficiently. That makes it very important that you not spend too much on the other cards. I still wouldn't go over two colors if you really want to maintain a budget, though. Some good choices:
Vela the Night-Clad
Brion Stoutarm. Giants tribal can be surprisingly effective, especially given the recent reprint of lots of giants in Modern Masters. Your creature core can be purchased for next to nothing, though you will want to drop a couple bucks for Stonehewer Giant.
