You did not specify opening size so I will assume that you mean a standard interior passage which is about 32 x 80.
You will have to buy the hardware kit, I'm seeing as low as $50 depending on the look you want and where you get it. As for the door, you could use a hollow core slab door (just the door without a jamb or hardware). Home Depot sells a 36 x 80 (you want it to overlap the opening) for less than $50.
This link will give you options on what kind.
