Tony Parks (KB9YIG) who makes the SoftRocks, on occasion has a 2 meter receiver kit for approximately $50 or so.  Since it's an SDR, you are only limited by software as to the modes it covers.

I think if we email him enough, he'll start to make them available again.

The only 70cm kit that I know of, is the UHFSDR (WB6DHW) which just recently started to become available.  

Another alternative is the Fun Cube Dongle.  Although not a kit, it's an SDR with coverage from roughly 50 Mhz to 2 Ghz.
