If you want to get that exact effect, and ok with spending some time, and familiar with Adobe Illustrator, you might wanna follow the steps here. Or if you're more of an Adobe Photoshop user, you might wanna follow the steps in the article over here.

There's lot of free fonts on dafont.com BUT be careful, you cannot use the fonts specified "free for personal use" and the demo for any commercial projects. Read the terms for each font anyway or contact the uploader, it's usually on the font page of each font.

You'll probably need to modify some elements of the font to get to a result similar to your example, but here are some free fonts to get you started, maybe one of them could be a good match:

There is this one:

And this one:

You could have a look on the website and see the script section for yourself. You might find something you prefer.

A good option is Sneaker Script



This font is outside of your price range but I don't remember seeing many fonts below .



Another kinda close font is Corner Store from Adobe Type Kit.





This font may be free, Annabelle



These fonts share a free flowing style of writing.

Whenever you see a swirl or long tail at the end of the word it can be an addition made in illustrator.

Check out this tutorial: CREATE AN EASY HAND LETTERING EFFECT IN ILLUSTRATOR for an example of how to create something like this. The overall idea is to use the pen tool and then use the width tool to widen parts of the path.
