Cheap gloves
I found some _cheap_, _cheap_ gloves at Walmart. $2 for fleece gloves with a soft elastic gauntlet. Nice.
They can be used alone, or, in colder weather, inside of (cheap) outer gloves.
Stock may vary throughout North America, but if you're looking for some winter gloves it's probably worth a visit.

Go out now!
For those of you looking for cheap gloves, you can also check out all the ski shops and ski resorts for pre-winter sales. There are a ton of ski shops having sales now. In fact, I passed a local ski place who just had a tent ski swap going on this past Columbus Day weekend. I picked up some cheap pair of winter gloves as well as ski goggles recently to try out this winter..

For temps just around the freezing mark, you can use those mini-gloves Walmart (and other places) sell for about $1 . . . put them under your regular cycling gloves and you're set.

I tried a pair of heavier knitted gloves, but guess what? Knitted gloves and Velcro do not happy companions make! After the second day I was trailing streamers like a parade float.

I have a pair of Isotoner gloves with padding in the palms for men I got for about $8 I use when it's cold. Otherwise I use a pair of Trico Sports gel open fingered open weaved gloves I got for about $15 that have way out lasted Pearl Izumi gel lites.

Hmm, I can't fit any other gloves under my riding gloves.

They are also thin enough to fit under all my cycling gloves - even my tighter ones, but I wear them under one particular pair of cycling gloves, with a full terry back on them, which is just slightly looser on me (we've all got 2 or 3 pair of cycling gloves on the go, don't we? ).
