Check out these - cleaning cloths that are 18% grey. In a pinch they do the trick:

They claim it is 18% but not that it is color neutral. It says it can "help" setting WB. A couple people asked the question about color neutrality, and there was no definitive answer forthcoming. It seems nobody answering the question has tried it to set WB.

depends on what "cheap" is. I have MacBeth 24 panel color checkers, and the Color checker passport. I recommend the color checker passport and here's why, you can get a free download for a PS, and lightroom add in that will use all the color panels to make a profile to make ALL colors as accurate as possible. also there are warming and cooling chips you can click on for white balance for warmer or cooler overall white balance as you like, plus it's small. So yes it acts as a white balance card but it's also much more. I believe it runs about $100 now

I recommend the passport also . The profile works great for printing accuracy.
