My set up is pretty much the same; acoustic foam glued to a shortened poster board, with a pop filter. If you're not using a pop filter, you're cheating yourself out of better audio; they're incredibly cheap to make or buy. While I did put a little bit of money into my setup (that foam isn't cheap), if I'm honest I don't think it's really necessary. rioforce's even cheaper version probably gives the same results. (I partially bought a pop filter instead of making one because I think the look cool. )

Until quite recently, I used a microphone that was built on some headphones that I bought for £1 ($1.56 US).

When it stopped working, I bought a proper microphone which was reduced from £50 ($78.01) to just under £12 ($18.72) on special offer.

I've never really had any problem with background noises, so my setup is literally just a microphone without anything over it.
