The least expensive route, for new wetsuits:

As an example: a 6mm jacket/farmer john is about $200. But keep in mind that you usually get what you pay for. The quality of their neoprene may be lacking. And that means, the deeper you go, the shorter the life-span of the neoprene (due to crushing). My Poseiden drysuit uses "real" neoprene (or "pure"... whatever you want to call it), and it's been below 300-feet, with no evidence of any crushing.
