Keep checking Slickdeals. I got a 4TB Seagate portable From Staples a couple weeks ago for $79 including shipping and tax. People are afraid of Seagates, but the 2 TB Slims and the 4 TB portable drives have been very good to me the last 5 years. Got this 4TB to replace a 2TB that was plugged into an Airport Extreme for Time Machine Backups of all of our Macs. I was running out of space but was willing to wait a couple weeks to save a few bucks on the drive.
You can kill yourself looking for deals, but it you can grab a WD or Seagate External portable for $75-100, go for it. Both seem very solid for backup, and it's great not to have to worry about a clunky power supply.
