It all depends how important you feel a platform is. I simply went to the tractor supply store and bought 4 mats for $30 each.
I don’t know if it is the cheapest, but wfwclub has a great deal on a good bar and a full set of bumpers.
I bought a cheap squat stand at sports authority some time ago and it works fine.

build a platform outta wood from home depot and get rubber mats and place them over it, grab the cheaper pendlay bar and buy used bumper plates and get a cheap squat rack from anywhere.

I am partial to this plan for a cheap, DIY approach to building an oly platform:
