Mixers with Cheap Vodka

Unfortunately I am a broke college student who just wants to get drunk once a week or so and so far a very cheap ($10 a handle) vodka is the cheapest way I’ve found. Also unfortunately, I’m still learning to develop a taste for alcohol and I’m not particularly fond of the taste yet. Any suggestions for things to mix a cheap vodka with to mask the taste of alcohol a bit? Suggestions for cheaper ways to get drunk are also welcome.
