As for gear, it is really hard to put it on wrong. It's not like you are going to wear a jock around your face like a facemask.
If you really wanna go cheap, set yourself a budget and stick to it.
I'd say $100 for skates.
$30-50 for shin pads. $50 for pants.
$50 for elbow pads. $15 for jock/gater belt combo.
$10-15 for socks, and $30 for a practice jersey.
$50 for helmet and $30 for a cheap cage.
$50 for gloves and $20 for a cheap stick.

Things I have at home if someone is in need of cheap gear.
CCM pants, blue large size.
Old practice jersey's.

Damn..that's starting to add up! It'll be like $300 for equipment + * x $15 each time you go, I think it'll hit $500~
