Where do you live? Bicycle cards are like a dollar anywhere in America.
Anyway, just about any flourish that doesn't involve a fan will be just fine with plastic cards. I suggest perfecting your charlier and move on to something simple like a sybil. You say you don't have much money, but some things can be learned off youtube (not taught very well, and sometimes the wrong way, but it can get you started.) When you do have money go out and get a flourishing DVD somewhere.
Welcome to the forums btw.

i dont think bikes are too far away from the price of the plastic coated cards... but the poster above me its right
I also started with plastic (crap cards) in my first 5 months of flourishing. I recommend you should do some researching and purchase a USPCC deck of cards later on, because you need to get accustomed to the feel of high quality cards.
With cheap plastic cards, you can do everything except spreading type flourishes e.g. fans ,spreads etc.
Don't limit yourself and invest in some bicycle or tally ho cards asap. If you can afford the internet, then I'm sure you can afford at least 1 deck of cards.

Practice these, you'll need them anyway for harder cuts/routines/flourishes:
(I hope you have at least cardboard cards, not the transparent, bendy waterproof ones)
Charlier cut
Revolution cut
Sybil (basic)
Swing cut
Tornado cut
Card spring/dribble
That's all I can think of for now. =)

Yeah, but good luck finding a place that sells them.
I've seen like 5, and I've been looking
