Since a bunch of you guys have mentioned these things,  I thought I'd pass 
this along...

There are also several very cheap multimeters available through
 www.bgmicro.com (as well as some OTHER interesting stuff).  They also have
 some meters that sound pretty good that are *relatively* cheap.  I recently
 ordered a couple of their cheapest ones, but haven't received them, yet.

(Off-topic:)

If anyone was/is ever looking for an economical source for the VTL5C2 Vactrol
 (an "analog optical isolator"), bgmicro.com has them for only $0.60 each,
 qty (1).   The only other places I've ever been able to find them wanted
 something like $20 each.
