Unless you actually need the ports to do some kind of network segmentation, one solution is to just plug the inside port into a five port switch (~$15). Which is how a lot of the consumer grade routers are implemented internally anyway.
You also can find quad port gigabit cards around those prices. Currently $22: https://www.amazon.com/HP-NC375T-Gigabit-Ethernet-539931-001...
There are scads of used quad port cards for even less on eBay.
