If you're in the UK the prices will be a little less in your currency, and I'm not quite sure if you have those hardware stores or not. If they don't have them or the stores don't sell it, there's always amazon!
I just bought mesh for my hamster's cage for £3.50 at Wilko. Plenty enough to cover the entire lid of a 80 x 40cm bin with enough left over to do another cage or add side panels too.
