The acoustic I keep at work to mess around on is a First Act something or other. I got it free but I think the new value is less than $40. It won't stay tuned longer than one song.
Almost broke it trying to mildly set it up. Our patients beat the hell out of it and that's exactly why it's the one at work and not something even remotely more expensive.

It's in parts right now -- so it doesn't count against my total -- but a VH1-branded Squier 51 that I will eventually refinish in sparkle silver (or gold or black or red or green ... some sparkle color) and drop a full-sized Duncan P-rails and a Lil 59 neck into.
Cost $50, plus another $100 for the pickups (used).

I apparently deleted the photos I had on my phone, but I paid the least for my Martin D17M. I spent $20 in raffle tix.
The actual cheapest to replace guitar I have is probably my white s/s Offset series Duo Sonic.

Hmm, well cheapest to me would have to be Mary, my modded Casino. A gift from bandmates.
As far as ones I actually bought, not accounting for inflation, my 1960 Duo-Sonic:
I'm not too good at math, so accounting for inflation there are probably a bunch very close to that. Possibly less, but in general I don't keep track of what year I bought each guitar, so no telling.

Tom Petty had a Hofner Club bass, probably one of the original '60s (or late '50s?) ones. It was pretty much his main axe in his side/original/revived band, Mudcrutch.

Shit photo is somehow appropriate!
This Morris Hurricane Stella (you tell me which words are the brand, and which are the model, because I can't even after years of internet research) was purchased for $102 at Albuquerque Music Go Round.
It's a terrific guitar, if perhaps radically ugly. Apparently made by Matsumoku (sp?) sometime between 1977 and 1982, it has that 70s MIJ wood quality (high) and attention to detail. Hospital wall green; weighs next to nothing. Unlike some of Matsumoku's other stuff, the fretboard is not tiny and so I can play it (use of verb "to play" very relative here).
In fact, I really love the guitar. Previous owner decked the trem, and that's how it's gonna stay because I'm an Officially Licensed Fender Whore and I've got plenty of other Strats where things are closer to the standard.

Chandler Soloist, bought it for $160 used. Some mods were done such as replaced System 1 Trem with Floyd and put and SD JB in it because I had one hanging around.
