Hi,
Usually those prices are for genuine cadmiums, cobalt, ultramarine and vermillion, to name a few.
Try the brands Winsor & Newton, Rembrandt, Lukas and Old Holland.

And don't forget to buy some decent brushes.
Better few and good than alot and bad.
A tip : usually beginners tend to buy smaller brushes than they should.
Kind regards,
