I kinda have the money. Not really. Well... I'd survive til next pay. But if I wait and it goes up in price then it's gonna be harder to get one.

I would not buy it new, perhaps at most buy it used - like others have said.

Long term, plan on setting aside a specific number every week or paycheck (ie $25 each week). You'll eventually have the funds pain free. As a plus, the envelope money will come in handy if some other emergency comes up, but you can restart the fund building for this goal.
