What is regarded as the best bang for the buck for a really cheap (<$50) setup? I know it's been discussed in the thread a bit and I've tried to find the answers elsewhere but it doesn't seem like there's any clear answer..

-Extension Tubes + a reversed prime (like this youtube video posted earlier)?
-Lens Coupler (to mount say, a 50mm backwards on a 18-55mm kit lens)?
-Raynox DCR-150/250?
-1x/2x/4x/10x filters?

Of course I'd love to grab a real macro lens someday but for now I'd just like to find a decent cheap option to have fun with.

If it helps I've got the following already: 18-55mm kit, 50mm, 30mm.

I don't know about BEST but this is what I have attatched to my kit lens:
http://cgi.ebay.com/58mm-WIDE-ANGLE-LENS-Canon-Rebel-XS-XSi-XTi-XT-T1i-/190377964983?pt=Camera_Lenses&hash=item2c536935b7

It screws on the end and you can unscrew the wide angle part, just leaving the macro. See my post above for an example shot. For sure it's not amazing, especially after seeing everyone else's images here, but it will let you get in close to play around with some macro for extremely cheap.

Shot these with my Kenko tubes & the 50mm f1.8, on a Canon 60D.
