With Thanksgiving nearly upon us and Black Friday just around the corner, you may already be thinking about purchasing electronic gadgets this holiday season. 
However, if you have suffered financially this year (due to the world recession for example), and money is tight, then you may think that purchasing any electronic gadget is way off base -- not so! For instance, if you're looking to purchase an MP3 player, then you may be pleasantly surprised to know that you can pick up a budget player for as little as $20. In fact our Budget MP3 Players guide lists a series of top portables (iPod and MP3 player alternatives) that retail for well under $100 -- in our guide you'll also find in-depth reviews to read before taking the financial plunge. Whether you're thinking about purchasing an MP3 player for a friend, family member, or even yourself, there's a whole range of 'cheap and cheerful' portable players on the market these days to fit practically any budget.
For more information on budget MP3 players, be sure to read our guide on Top Portables for Less Than $100.
