The 50mm f/1.8 is about $85-90. Usually a new DSLR will come packaged with a "kit" lens, and I think the ones they're selling with Rebels now are pretty good. You can still (I think!) buy an Xti without a lens, but the kit lens is usually a good buy. Does that help? If you're buying just the camera body, you can get a 18-55mm IS lens from Canon for $170 at Amazon; the 28-135 that I have is about $400.
