What are some strong semi-budget graveyard decks?

Looking to build a graveyard deck that is semi-competitive but not super expensive.
I really like Bridgevine but it will take me some time to accumulate the Vengevines and Bloodghasts so looking for something else to keep me entertained in the meantime. I just love anything with solid graveyard recursion.
Any suggestions?

SaffronOlive did a sweet budget Abzan Unburial Rites deck that was pretty popular.

Sorry for the shameless self-advertising, but I built a pretty fun (imo) and relatively cheap deck around Flayer of the Hatebound a while back: Flayer of the Hatebound Reanimator. It's better with Gravecrawler instead of Dregscape Zombie if you have them.
Another deck I can think of off the top of my head is the Zubera aristocrats deck (example: https://www.mtggoldfish.com/articles/against-the-odds-five-color-zubera-rally-modern). The main is really budget, and it's pretty easy to budgetize the lands.

Gravecrawler + Blasting Station is a good semi cheep deck, also give me a minute, building a similar deck to BR vengevine without Vengevine. It could be a decent deck, so i'll keep you posted.

The best graveyard card nto being played enough is still Bridge from Below. Here is an idea of what you can do with BFB:

There's also Bubble Hulk, all of the combo pieces are really cheap and you could probably make a decent BR version for 40 bucks.

If you're looking for an explosive deck, theres nor really much for cheap. If you want to be more grindy there's a lot of decks, including emeria and cave of eternity, but noone plays the latter for some reason.

Why play dredge when you can kill them before the hate ever comes down?

Because it has pieces in common with bridgevine and would be a solid deck until he has finished it

Dredge is actually one of the cheapest decks to put together right now thats been higher up on the meta bloodghast and life of the loam will run you most of the decks cost. Just be warned a lot of people are running Hate for graveyards for hollow-one and bridge-vine
