I'm looking for a really cheap, preferably Cherry MX Blue keyboard. Don't really care about backlight or if it's ten-keyless. Any suggestions?

I would also like one sometime within the next year for coding.
the CM Storm is always a good buy... I'd take a long look at Ducky too... they're better quality... I have one at work cause they wouldn't go for the $150 on the Max Keyboard I have at home (which is the Odin keyboard IMO BTW) I will say don't go Corsair, Razer (though I love their DeathAdder mouse), or Logitech
Damn man, I just sold a CM TK Blue Cherry MX for $45 =[
I found this one on Amazon for $49.99 - it's apparently ALPS Blue switches though - and I dont know if that means they are simmilar to Cherry MX Blues or not. Price is nice enough that it may be worth it though.

If you are willing to go with Cherry MX Red switches Corsair has a refurbished K90 and K60 at their outlet store HERE and HERE.
Woah, I will surely get something from there.
ALPS are completely different from Cherry MX.
Nice prices. Just keep in mind that on these models, some keys are rubber dome. I believe the number row and macros are rubber dome, but don't quote me on that.
I honestly don't care. I need to be saved from this:

Large print so when you're old and legally blind you can still game like a champ ;)
Wow thanks for the link man, I've been wanting to buy a 2nd K90 for along time but I couldn't find one at a reasonable price.
It feels like a fucking laptop.
Massdrop is a good place to find keyboards. You have to make an account to really see anything on the site. You can sign up here: https://www.massdrop.com/
Once you make an account go here to see what they have right now. They have a decently priced monoprice keyboard right now, and several cool 60% keyboards that are a little more expensive.
Cooler Master's quickfire Rapid range is always a nice option if you can find them.
How do those red switches compare to rubber dome? Are they still better for typing and coding?
I find it hard to type on reds. It really depends on your own personal preferences.

it's not that it's hard to type on reds.... it's that it's different at first.... I haven't made a typo in ages on reds at this point but I will admit I made a TON at first... in general, blues are better for typing, but reds are better for gaming... but anything you get will require an adjustment to typing if you're used to domes... and you'll never ever in a million years go back to a dome keyboard after you experience a mechanical one... it's almost as if you bought a smartphone...
I love my Rosewill rk-9000 with browns that i use for work/coding, I enjoy it more than my Razer Black Widow
