Think I blew my MAF sensor

WEll today I was driving down the road, shifted into 2nd gear and all of a sudden my car just starts jerking hard, felt like the car was having a major misfire problem. I pull over and the car wont even hold idle very well, the rpms would jump up and down from 1500 to 300 and the car would eventually die, after sitting with the car off for a minute I sarted it back up and drove the longest 1/2 mile ever back home, the car had put irself into limp mode and that is the only way I made it back. I pulled the code from the check engine light I got and sure enough it was the MAF code. Now I need a new one I guess, anybody got a place that can get good deals on these things , I am not trying to pay an arm and a leg for this.

first time was a hoax, second time it was door to door going back and forth. you just shut down when your nose was out front. not bad for a heavy auto.
