What Cichlids are the cheapest or relatively cheap?
Cichlids are an entire family of animal- as in a family within the order perciformes. There are hundreds of species.

Some more common cichlids can gof or as little as $8-10.00 each; some show specimens or more rare species can go for 100s of $$. What group of cichlids are you most interested in? Overall, I would say that Central and South American cichlids are probably the lowest priced.
I bought my two convicts for $3 a piece. They were a struggle at first with how aggressive they were but love em now that I got the tank settled down.
I find mixed African cichlids for 5 bucks at Petco and petsmart all the time. They're juveniles and so they're not sexed and super tiny 1/2 inch to 3/4 an inch at most usually. Mostly common mbuna such as yellow labs, aratus, socolofi, kenyi, bumblebee, and a few others I can't think of right now. Hope this answers ur question.
Craigslist people can't give their oscars, convicts or labs away where I'm located lol. It really depends on what you want. I think I paid 5 bucks for my keyhole but petco was the only place around here that carried them
