Where to buy cheap but good quality home audio recording equipment?

I have audacity and thats great. Im a guitarist and singer who is tryin to record his own music. Ive recorded a few songs on audacity but all ive done is taped a microphone (a earpiece to a phone to be exact) to my guitar and recorded it like that. Or simply stuck it next to the amp. I need to find some equipment at an affordable price. But i still want it to be a good quality. Please help me. Thank you!

You could try going for a low-end digital recorder like one of these:
