I bought these because I wanted spd pedals with shoe cages for my spouse and/or other guests to ride my bike+: https://www.amazon.com/BV-Shimano-Compatible-Pedals-Included/dp/B081BDDGJ8/ref=asc_df_B081BDDGJ8/
They're $93 right now on amazon.
I use spd shoes for my outdoor bike and have shimano A530's on it, and wanted to keep using the same shoes, so spd is a must for me. You can definitely get into a good set of spd pedals for less than $93, though, especially if you don't need/want the shoe cages.
