Check the second hand market, that is where i have bought most of my drives
If it has to have DRAM the only mainstream options are basically Samsung EVO 870 or ADATA SU800 (or Crucial MX500 but it's been end of life for a while).
There's a pretty big premium for those models over the cheapest models (SU650, BX500, etc…) and the capacity per dollar will be terrible for the 256GB models.
If it has to be SATA and has to have DRAM, I'd just buy something like this from Amazon:
~$167 NZD incl. GST currently - Samsung EVO 870 500GB
