I was feeling the same, I picked up the basic USB picoscope that uses your PC as the output. Also has a built in signal generator. https://www.amazon.com/Pico-PicoScope-2204A/dp/B00GZMRZ3M/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=picoscope&qid=1564960444&s=gateway&sprefix=picosc&sr=8-3
I don't think the strain gauges cost much, maybe $30 - $40. It's the stuff you need to get a reading from them that costs money. You need a Wheatstone bridge circuit and either a dedicated strain gauge reader or an oscilloscope with at least 10 MHz frequency response.
