It sounds like you just said that you don't care about a good cage, that you just want something to keep it in. $300 is nothing related to the price of feeding an adult. Also, sterilites are really good for the first two years but something bigger will be needed.

If you really want to save money start with the right cage at the beginning. Nothing worse than having to buy three cages in less than four years. Boaphiles and similar cages are not really top of the line. Top of the line would be a room sized zoo quality display enclosure. A plastic cage, like a boaphile, is however an affordable , secure, easily heated, easily cleaned, well built cage that gives your pet the best possible conditions to prevent stress, disease, and escapes. In my mind it is a bargin.
