My skin has become very dry and sensitive and I'm fed up having to buy creams that to me that cost too much money, I'm wondering is there a really good cream out there that I can buy at a resonable price? I look forward to hearing back from other people who suffer from the same problem. Help!!!

The best moisturizer (in terms of effectiveness, price and lack of harmful side-effects) is Vaseline (aka Petroleum Jelly).

Try:
Nivea renewal night cream for body - a thin cream but very moisturizing
Queen Helene (creams in tubs) Cocoa Butter or Almond (They may have another scent) absorbs in well, and leaves dry skin really moist. Also the Queen Helene Cocoa Butter Lotion comes in a huge bottle - great to slather on.
If you want tons of lotion at a cheap price, go to the dollar stores, and their cocoa butter lotion is pretty good, as well as lots of other brands of lotions, all for a dollar a bottle.
That stuff (from the guy above) for cow's udders is called Bag Balm in the green square tin. That is really great, but very greasy (I think) petroleum jelly based with antiseptic... is healing too. You could probaby use straight petroleum jelly, cheaper.
Another one I really like and had forgotten about is Neutrogena Sesame Oil. It smells terrific!

Actually the BEST cream you can use is for animals. Get some udder cream for cows. People can use it too, and it works much better than anything else you could possibly buy. You can get it at walmart, and it's about $4. Get either the lotion that comes in a white bottle with black spots (looks like a holstein cow) or get the type that comes in a green tin can with a cow on the front. I can't remember if they keep it in the pet department or the pharmacy, you would have to ask.
Or, Goldbond lotion (about $8 at walmart) is in the lotion section. It has more of a smell too it, but works all right.

Neutrogena. This sounds funny, but their foot or hand cream is really good anywhere on the body. I use it twice a day (just a little dab) and it works really well.
As well you can use Keri Bath Oil and bathe in that twice a week.
Lastly, dry exfoliate 3 times per week... gently before you shower.

the cream we would always use on the eldery's very dry feet and skin is the best stuff I've ever found
Eucerin cream (in the jar)
put it on at night so it can soak it. It's thick stuff

I have really sensitive skin that is also dry, I use Cetaphil, you can buy it at places like Target, Walmart, ect...It's fairly inexpensive, around $10.00 for a large bottle.

Safflower oil works really well. Can be found in the baking section of your local grocery store.
