(diffraction spectrometer from used CDs!), very easy to make, and it costs ~$0.
It has enough resolution to distinguish individual lines of fluorescent lamps (by using a narrow aperture). Highly recommended (very nice as an educational tool also, to impress folk with the hidden spectra of light around us ;) ).
