Sure thing! I try to be as frugal as possible. Amazon has been good to my wallet.
Base Thermal Kit
Windproof Jacket
Overshoes
Balaclava Mask
Windproof Gloves
The thermal kit is very comfortable and perfect for riding in the 40s and 50s. Once it dips to the 20s and 30s, I add the jacket on top and switch from regular winter skully to the balaclava mask. My feet were noticeably warmer with the overshoes too. If you buy any items, order 1 size bigger. For example, I'm normally XL by American standard. These are Asian manufacturers, so I order XXL.
Happy [warmer] cycling!
There are a number of things you can do before you have to plunk down for a $200 leather saddle.
Once you've used #1 to get over your budget hump, and you've tried #2 to find out exactly what bike shorts can do for you, then you can worry about whether or not you really need to buy the full kit.
I second the Sponeed Bibs, I have a set and love them. I went for their cheap jersey and bib combo set:

What are some good brands for buying jerseys and shorts? What to look for/look out for?
edit: ended up getting this.
I've been happy with the Zerobike stuff on Amazon. You can get shorts + jersey for ~$30.
They have some fun designs, and some fairly conservative designs. The green is a relatively good compromise between being visible, without being too wild.

Cut on the short sleeve stuff is reasonably good; not super aero, but not frumpy. The long sleeves catch a bit more wind. Pocket design is good; the pockets are stitched to full depth, and they can take water bottles, large phones, or whatever junk you happen to carry there.
I like the look of that knox jacket liner.

I use one similar to one of these things, it's close fitting, windproof, has a high neck and as a double bonus I already owned it. Not well insulated though. It's a lot warmer than a fleece mind you.
