Do you have a link? I was just about to get started on a project and getting a $2 Arduino would be great for tinkering

Just a little bit more: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Best-prices-UNO-R3-MEGA328P-f...

But if you are not planning on using shields you can get arduino mini for ~$1.3 or nano for ~$1.8

Go to AliExpress.com and search for "pro micro" or "pro mini".

You can get a Pro Mini clone for less than $1.50.

A full-size Arduino R3 clone (with a cheaper USB chip, the CH340G) is less than $3 with free shipping.
