Reny's. They have some Lodge, but the other stuff is an off brand. It's not great, but over time and use, it could be.

Wal-mart has a pretty big selection of Lodge stuff.

Vintage stuff at flea markets and the like is probably going to be pricey as that's a pretty popular item.

The amazing thing about cast iron. Even cheap crap becomes pretty good over time.

I got my first Lodge pan 20 years ago, it's now every bit as good as some 60+ year old pans I have.

From my experience making taco meat (with good greasy beef) is the best thing you can do for a rough pan. The meat doesn't stick too bad and the grease from the meat gets time to really seep into the pores.
