Budget Better: 10 best cheap tequilas for under $50

One tequila, two tequila, three tequila... more?

Cinco de Mayo is right around the corner, and to many people, that means one particular beverage is on the mind: Tequila!

Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Mexican army's victory over the French forces of Napoleon III on May 5, 1862, at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War. In the United States, the holiday has evolved into a celebration of Mexican culture and heritage. Tequila is Mexico's most popular spirit, and it's safe to say more than few shots of tequila will be downed this Friday.

Unfortunately, the tasty agave-based liquor can err on the side of pricey. So what better way to kick off the holiday than with a round-up of some of the best -- and cheapest -- bottles out there?

Whether you're a margarita addict, tequila sunrise-lover, or prefer it straight on the rocks, these bottles will be sure to satisfy your tastebuds -- and your wallet.

So grab some salt, cut up those limes and get ready to celebrate!
