You can set up your own for free, e.g. OpenCA. What you have to decide
is if you need the CA to be recognized automatically by the usual
suspects (FF, IE etc.) or if you can get your users to follow
instructions for loading the CA data into their browsers. If it's the
former, you're stuck with the paid versions. Thawte used to be cheap
compared to Verisign, but I don't know if that is still true.
