But first, a little memory card history

My first memory card had a capacity of 256 MB, yes I said that right MB, and it cost about $750. Yikes! That was in 2003 or so.The last memory card I bought, had a capacity of 64GB, and it cost $80. My newest SD card has tons more memory space at a fraction of the cost.So the message here is that the price of memory cards drops significantly over time. Expect a price drop every 6 months or so, especially for lower capacity cards.
