Spinning to start with first, Don't want to start out with Hi-Mods, would like to do a few & probably will mess up a few times, better on a less expensive rod

You have many choices, the RX 6 Batsons, the Mudhole line of unexpensive blanks  (CRB?), JannsNetcraft has some inexpensive blanks, and I've probably forgotten a few other options.

Rainshadow Revelation spinning rod blanks are like 35 bucks,and something you may actually want to keep when moving on to more expensive blanks.

All good options. On a really tight budget, the CRB blanks are better than the price might lead you to believe. 

One of my personal favorite rods is built on an RX-6 blank that I paid $30 for.

At the risk of sounding redundant and like a salesman, I second the RX6 and Revelation suggestions.  Our lower priced blanks are not low value and we take great pride in the fact that they perform at a very high level.  You won't be left wanting for the proper aciton or power, and certainly not for durability.
