The cheap ones work just as well as the expensive ones. Its smart to take the test in the morning when you 1st go to the bathroom that way the test will be more likely able to detect if you are prego. Also if you want a free pregnancy test Planned Parenthood gives them for free on certain days if you have them in your area. I used First Response Prego test then went to the Planned Parenthood and I got the same answer. So try one of those.

The ones that you can buy out at the dollar store and even the dollar tree they work.
I was pregnant and i had taken one 7 days before my missed period and it was positive.
Brand name=Expensive
Generic Brand=Cheaper
What's the best test to use? This seems to change periodically! Some tests are well-liked and then a "bad batch" comes out, and some tests are known for being duds but then switch manufacturers and redeem themselves. See the HPT Overview section for current comments on each brand.
If you are trying to detect a pregnancy 13 DPO or earlier, you probably want to use a more sensitive brand. Anything that detects 25 mIU/mL of hCG (English: anything that detects a tiny bit of pregnancy hormone) is good for early testing. See the HPT Overview section to see which tests are most sensitive and the HPT Showdown for a real-life comparison of 15 brands.
Surprisingly, cheap tests purchased at dollar stores or on the Internet are often more sensitive and reliable than expensive store brands. HPT's are like soda: very cheap to make, and marked up quite a bit for retail.

They are all I ever used, and they were never wrong. I would buy a box that came with two tests, because sometimes one of the tests is faulty, but that happens with any pregnancy test sometimes. I have heard from many different people that First Response tests are often faulty and tend to give false negatives.
Good luck!

All of the cheap ones I have taken have always worked with no second guessing. They are just as good as the expensive ones.
