If you are long-term cheap rather than short-term cheap, look into a different source of plastic, in a larger piece. Best I recall 20x100 6mil clear poly (aka visqueen, which might be someone's brand name) was about $45 the last time I bought one at the lumberyard.
This is the building vapor barrier plastic, not UV resistant greenhouse cover.
On smaller structures (chicken tractor, cold frames) I get about a year out of it. You might get less time with it flapping in the breeze - if you can set up a small blower and make the greenhouse tight enough that the blower will inflate the plastic, that will reduce flapping and increase life. Roll out enough to get X by 20 and cut it off. The roll (stored out of the sun) does not go bad with age (or hasn't in quite a few years).
