I'm kinda broke right now and can't afford to buy ingrediants for a 5 gal extract batch. I'm considering a pre-hopped kit just to see what they're like. If they're super crappy I guess I can try to make a 2.5 gal batch.
If you really want to save some money at least in the long run you should go all grain!! and wash your yeast.

Wow! I don't know how me being broke = I should start brewing AG. I do realize the initial costs are high but it pays off in the long run... and I do plan to do so when I'm living somewhere with more space (and I have more $$$). But now the issue is I've got like $25 and I wanna brew next weekend.

Did you follow the link to stove top all grain brewing?
All you need is a bag, stir spoon, thermometer and a couple pots. Your profile says you have been brewing for almost 3 years and I assumed you had those things

I am pro kits for starting out but why not make something good for the same price.
Cheers
I've read the partial mash thread before. I do wanna try this... I do need to buy a 5 gal pot, I've only got the big one. Also need the grain bag. Also I dunno if you've read my other post, but I had a bad experiance recently... sour batch. I'm just getting back in to this after a bit of a hiatus. I wanna make a succesful extract batch or two before I start moving to AG.
