petsmart has the ap master test kit for $14. all you have to do is print it out and take it in and they will price match it.

IMO I think once a tank is set-up and running well, pH and nitrate would be the most important. The AP master test kit is really good though and not that expensive.
For a well established tank, with a regimented maintenance routine and an observant caretaker, you could get away with just a monthly nitrate.
But for the majority that are involved in the hobby, it is prudent to have ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and pH test kits.
