If you are talking about a walmart aquarium kit then my store has them just under 200. They are alot cheaper than buying hood, light, filter, heater, tank, ect. separatly though. There are several products that speed up cycling such as "cycle" and "bio-spira" Good luck in getting and setting up your tank! 
The Wally World in Maine ( Scarborough) has 55 gals for 158 bucks. Full hood, Hydor 100w heater and a crappy aquatech filter included. It is a great deal if you ask me. Would highly recommend upgrading the filter though.
The stand is 76 bucks if you do not have one.

So you have something else to put it on, keep in mind that it will way close to 600 pounds when it is full of water. An aqurium rated stand is the best choice to make sure you dont come home one day and find your tank and water with all its occupants on the floor. If you are going to work so hard to get the aquariu, have a few more patience and save for a good sturdy stand as well. By the way, I would not waste my money on a stand from walmart. I had one and it lasted about 8 months b4 i had to replace it because it was starting to wobble with my 30 gallon tank on it (floor was level). You can find a much sturdier on for around 100 dollars, or maybe get soemone to build you one cheaper than that. Good Luck!!
