Remember: The uglier the antenna, the better it works.

Which of those can be bought off the shelf for ~$5?

None of them. However, you can get something for that price at a
thrift shop or garage sale. If you want cheap, two pieces of box
cardboard and some aluminum foil to form a corner reflector.

There are all sorts of heavy foil throw away cookware/servingware available
for well under $5.
