For very cheap and easy way to make fire is instant hand sanitizer and a strike anywhere match. I use this method myself and find it very easy.
You can use any bottle of instant hand sanitizer, just make sure it has ethyl alcohol at least 75%, just put a dab on your kindling , light it with a match and you now have fire.
This a good item to have in your fist aide kit, since it used as a antiseptic you can use it to clean your hands.
This is a good item to have in any survival kit, because you can use it to start a fire in a emergency situation.
