pole circuit breakers for 120 volt applications are cheap - less than $10.  
The wire is expensive these days - almost $0.50 per foot for 12/2 romex.  
DO NOT go to Home Depot & ask them how to do it. They don't give accurate  
or correct advice half the time. Have a licensed electrician do the work.
