A Debian live image fits into 4GB flash drive. If you search stuff for sale you can probably find them cheap, and 4GB is practically the smallest size you can buy.
Eh? US chiming in… In the last week I bought a 64gb usb flash drive for $15 and a 12tb usb external hdd for $189.
Fittingly, the flash drive was for Lubuntu iso, and the hdd was because my other external harddrive was exfat formatted and I didnt want to lose all my TBs of media by reformatting to ext4. (Now my minipc diy media/file server has 18tb… Not a bad scenario.)
Anyhoo…the external SSDs were super expensive at the store, but I didnt need that. If I were expanding my gaming setup, id be looking at external ssd.
I hope you realize how much more expensive USB mass storage devices have become in the last three months.

Can you even find 4GB flash drives anymore? Outside of sketchy ebay stores, I mean?
The biggest online store in my country has 4GB flash drives permanently on sale for $3.
Companies at onferences give 4/8gb out sometimes. They buy branded ones in bulk.
They hand out 1GB businesscard labeled ones like table pens pretty often at vendor booths
