How can you afford the protein supplements?

Well, I was looking on a few sites and I saw some of the prices for the protein supplements and I just about fell over. One place I saw was $100 for 40 servings. $100 is darn near my entire food budget for a month! (I'm a college student living alone). I know I won't be eating as much, but still $100 is a lot of money. If you buy the cheaper tubs, how much do you use in a month? I saw some that were like $25 for 2 pounds... how long does that last and how effective is it compared to the more expensive stuff? I'm having surgery in December and I am really starting to wonder about getting all the nutrition in. Can anybody help me? I'm starting to panic here.
