You can get a cheap paddle for under $100.

I would buy the best paddle you can afford. The difference between a cheap one and crappy one is huge. Maybe find a lightly used better quality paddle instead of buying a new one.

I've been happy with Werner Skagit. Mid-of-the road, I've had it for 3 years and it's still in a good shape.

As Tyler indicated get the best you can afford even if you have to purchase used. Went the cheap route first, but after paddling a couple times and seeing how much faster other kayaks moved past me and the time it took to get past the reserve, I had to upgrade to an onno paddle. Take a look at the classified section of this site. There is an Aqua paddle for sale at $105 that might be a good entry level paddle for you.
