Cheap CB radio and SWR

I picked up a cheap CB radio (a Cobra mini) just to fool around with. I haven't gotten an antenna yet though. I may get a K40 I saw on Amazon. Problem is how do I tune the antenna? I don't want to blow money on an SWR meter that I will use once and costs more than the radio. Anybody have any suggestions?
