The TL-WN722N is one of the least expensive dongle wifi cards that support master mode.

I have purchased one online before and paid $13 USD, including shipping.

There is a resource here where a user describes being able to achieve master mode using hostapd. A step by step tutorial on creating a wifi hotspot can be found here.

The signal won't be as strong as a wifi router, but for the price it's not bad.
