I know you can get a decent fender squire for around 100 but that's electric

also, it depends on how much your gonna play it and how religiously..

if you really wanna get into it, I say take some music lessons, learn to read music and such

if it's just for an extra little hobby, just surf the web for some different things

that way you dont waste money if you dont like it/cant play it

I say buy the best guitar that you can realistically afford. Cheap guitars sound shit and if what you are playing sounds shit you will lose motivation to stick with it. And yes, you can teach yourself. Here are a couple of links you should check out:

This.

Cheap guitars really sound like shit.

I had a yamaha electric for the longest time, and when I first started playing eons ago it sounded like shit. I mean SHIT. I couldn't get any of the sounds I wanted out of it because simply put it sounded like some sort of cheap toy or something. Horrible starter guitar.

Then I got my stratocaster and I think about playing it all the time. I'll be driving around with my friends and suddenly think of a cool rhythym or riff and think "Oh shit, I wish my guitar was here."

I usually carry my acoustic around with me though because I seriously do get these cravings to mess around every once in a while and see what I get. My acoustic isn't very good. It's a squier. The action on it is so ridiculously high. When I play at the guitar center I find very comfortable acoustic guitars, mine in comparison is ridiculous. My calluses came from playing on that beast.

OH YEAH though, OP. Get one you can reasonably afford like that guy said. I'd just go to the guitar center and sit down and pluck some. You aren't experienced yet, but you should be able to notice which ones are comfortable atleast. When I was talking about high action that means the strings on mine are raised really high off of the fret board, so they are hard to press down. Try to find one that isn't hard to play, but isn't ridiuclously expensive.

Prices of acoustic guitars usually comes down to what it's made out of and how decorative it is. You don't need some nice spanish looking guitar with roses and doves all over it, you just need a guitar that gets the job done.
