I picked up the Spot spacer kit for $40 CDN. Is that too much? Yes, but my chainline is "spot" on. :|
You can rescue spacers from old trashed cassettes - 7/8/9 speed will all work, and road or mountain - as long as they're Shimano.

I usually buy some extra tools, like the funny chainring bolt spanner or a 18mm cone wrench, to round out shipping.
