The Paul Sellers-endorsed Workzone chisels are back in Detroit area Aldi grocery stores. If they are the same as the ones that Aldi imported last year, they are solid, well made tools at a crazy chea...

Your cheapest option would be an old wooden rabbet plane. You should be able to find a good one for $20 or less.
