All these Kill A Watt like products are a bit expensive because they offer a few readings and not just amp draw, $10 is probably going to be the cheapest you find, but then, most are rated at 15A which is roughly 3.3kw on 220v, hardly enough for any modern asic miner out there, there is no cheaper option to be honest, you are going to need a tool of some sort if you need very accurate measure, check if you have an amp clamp or maybe one of your friends has it.
However, the real equation, why do you care so much about getting a 100% accurate reading? whatever you get on the screen is pretty accurate, the fans don't consume enough power to even matter as far as a 3kw miner is concerned, if you own a Whatsminer you can get the perfectly accurate reading from whatsminer tool, it shows you the exact amp output/input of the power supply, it measures everything that's being powered on by the PSU and that includes fans, LEDs and the control board.
Some monitoring software like AwesomeMiner would also give you an estimate of the total power draw based on some variables, it isn't 100% accurate but maybe 90% accurate.
