How much is ginger for you? Where to get it cheap? (lemm.ee)

I've been interested in making a ginger bug. Seems easy enough and can carbonate soda. Went to buy some this weekend and it was $4/lb. That seems like a lot! For reference, I usually buy fruits for the family or fermentation when they're $1/lb and never go above $2/lb.

I plan on growing my own, prelim researching says it's easy enough, but until then, where do you get yours and how much is it?

Farmers markets in my area are 2x expensive as grocery stores. I've never been to a market cheaper than grocery.
