It's easy to forget that modern generic SSRIs are dirt cheap.

$4-5/month is typical. These compounds are trivial to produce. Many pharmacies don't even operate as money makers. They just want you to pick up groceries while you're in the store.

Picking up a couple of apples while you wait for a prescription to be filled might cost more than the medicine itself.

It's true that there are more expensive on-patent medications available, but it's reasonable (and encouraged) to start with the cheap generics first.
