My Search for Cheap Rent. Is is out there?

I'm looking for the type of rent that is so cheap that anyone with 15hours of work per week can afford. I'm talking $450 to $500. I do not want to spend any more than that. My wedding is in 3 months and expenses are through the roof. My fiancee is worried we would not be able to afford a honeymoon, but the thrifty in me had to look for deals. Back to rent though, I started by looking for apartments on the side of the road as I was commuting. Whenever I would see a phone number for renting a unit, I would dial the number and find out about the unit and ask for rent amount. But this method wasn't yeilding much results in my opinion so I shifted my efforts into online hide-and-go seek.

After going to google.com, my favorite search engine, I typed in 'cheap apartments (city, state)'. But of course I soon realized that that search method was inefective because my idea of cheap is different than someone elses idea of cheap (mine is $450 and someone elses is $700 and thats a $250 difference that I wasnt willing or able to afford). Anyway, I decided to search by price because it is specific. I typed in $450. What do you think happened? I'll let you know in my next post, Finding $450 Rental.
