You know those square puzzle piece kids play mats? That (or similar) is what I bought. It's a loooot cheaper than a fancy blocking kit, and it works just as well. It helps to use a measuring tape as you're block, though, because the squares aren't gridded like in the fancy kits. Couple these with some quilting T pins (or whatever sewing pins you may have laying around) and you'll be good to go.
In the meantime, you can also lay down towels on the floor. I know plenty of people who even use their bed! I think the $20 purchase of the square mats was extra worth it, though - they make it really easy to position and pin your work.
There are other handy blocking tools, like blocking wires, which help to make really smooth edges on your FOs, but those can come later.
