pretty much any decent sporting goods place will have them. Heck, even walmart will sell you a bench.

Buy a gym membership instead at a place like the liesure centre etc which can be had for like 350. You'll use it more over the course of the year guaranteed

For a $150 or less you really can't get very much new. You would pretty much be limited to Canadian Tire, Walmart, type of stuff which usually isnt very good quality. So your probaly better off to look for used stuff. You can try Craigs list, bargain finder (buysell.com), or even ebay.

If your planning on lifting heavy weights you might want to think about a cage or power rack for safety. This would probaly cost you more in the $400 - $500 range though.

I have a similar setup as in the link below which is one on sale for $199 at sears right now. Its decent quality but I wouldnt want to load more than about 400lbs on it.

Heres another model for $149 at sears
