General basil substitutions:
You could use arugula (which has a spicy, peppery taste), but if you're substituting due to cost, try parsley, which is cheap. You could use any of those herb-y greens that are also used in salads. Check your produce section for the bagged herb salad to see what's in there. Almost anything in there could be used instead.
Basil is a good blood cleanser, though, and very good for you. If possible, I say use it!
