I'm going to get a Cardigan Welsh Corgi soon. Is there a way where I can get a Cardigan Welsh Corgi without me paying too much? Also, are there any breeders that will give away free CWCs? Does anyone know any breeders? I don't want to waste too much money on the CWC and its necessary items, for example, a leash, collar, house, water and food bowls.

I suggest that you contact the CWCNRT which is the national rescue associated with the Cardigan Welsh Corgi.
If you are more concerned about the money you will spend then the quality of dog, then I also suggest that you really look at why you want a dog. A cheap dog will cost you more in the long run because of unscrupulous breeding practices, lack of health clearances of the parents, puppies raised in bad conditions.
Let's look at it this way, if you had the opportunity to purchase a new car with a warranty, dealer support and all the research backing up the car vs a used car with no record of it's use, no warranty, and no dealer support, which would you choose? You should consider the same or more when you think about bringing a living, breathing being into your home. A breeder who is a member of the national parent club has to abide by a code of ethics in the care and breeding of their dogs. Many of those breeders offer guarantees on their puppies, will stand behind them for the life of the dog, mentor you and will provide you with a dog that meets your lifestyle. They health test the parents and strive to better the breed. Many don't make money on puppies, usually loosing money.
As far as giving away dogs, yes many breeders will place older dogs in inspected homes with good references, usually at the cost of the altering of the dog or just slightly more. But I don't know of anyone respectable and responsible that will give away a puppy.
Good luck and I honestly think you need to think about getting a dog a little longer if it's a money issue.

If a registered dog doesn't matter to you, I suggest you go to www.Petfinder.com (or it may be org). Input the breed, age, sex and even the area where you are located. The price should be minimal.
Most times these are dogs that need homes but proably aren't registered with the AKC. They DO make great dogs!
My corgi was abandoned out in the country near where I used to live. He is a wonderful, WONDERFUL dog.
Good luck!

If you want to find a breeder near you here is a great site.
www.breeders.net
Also some breeders have older dogs that need homes so while looking at their websites or emailing them. Ask or look for their older dogs for sale. They are cheaper when they are older too.

You do realize that they take a lot of training. they are herding dog. You will need to be alfa leader in the house. I owned one for 11 years. Please get the dog in to agility and obedience training. The is the one with the long tail and the big ears and has a fiddle front .
