When you say floody, what sort of use do you actually want to use it for? I’m guessing walking through a park/field in the dark and looking for stuff on the ground?
Do you have a preferred size? As in, are you wanting something pocket friendly, or is something a tad larger chunkier going to fit the bill?
Zoomy lights will light up the immediate ground with nice even illumination and would be ideal if you want to see 10-20 feet in front of you. But in flood mode they won’t light up much beyond that. When zoomed in, the beam is then quite narrow. But these types of lights might serve you well for this kind of use and are often quite compact.

Seems popular for the money. It might get a little hot on high, but it’s cheap enough to be worth a punt. It’s on pre-oder at the mo, although there has already been one batch that people have received.
Another option for flood is a multi emitter light. SkyRay King and clones of this light are available with 4, 5, 6 or 7 emitters. These chuck out a tonne of light and would probably work brilliantly for you. But they are a bit chunky, a little bigger than a can of Coke and heavier, as they require 4x18650 batteries. The advantage with a light like this is it will still give you some good distance too.
Your best bet is to take a look around, Sky Ray King clones are everywhere, some better than others. Personally I’d probably just take a punt on ebay. Although you will be talking more like £30 than $30

Oh BTW, ignore “Chinese” lumens. They basically lie about outputs. So take any listing for any torch than isn’t claiming ANSI FL1 statistics are potentially bogus. They can still be good lights though. 
As others have mentioned, compact tube lights offer floody beams. And due to their size they are very pocket friendly. The only downsides are, while offering good flood, they may be restricted on how far they can light up an area. The other down side is, if they are driven hard for high output, then they get very hot, very quickly. This is ok if you only use it in short bursts, but if you think you’ll use the light for extended periods, then you may find you have to use a lower output mode to keep temps down. The lack of mass means these small lights just don’t handle the heat as well as larger ones.
Of course, you might be completely happy with a more throwy light that has plenty of output. While such lights aren’t what people round here call floody, they still put out a lot of light and are very useful.
The “C8” is probably one of the most well known models. And sold by many makers. It’s a nice sized light (I have a couple), as it’ll just about fit in a jeans pocket, but has the ability to light up a wide area and be on high output for prolonged periods.
A good budget C8 is the Convoy version.
The best C8 is the XinTD version sold from here:

And you can choose many different options for it.
On this note I think it’s worth mentioning tint. Tint is the colour of the light and affects the CRI, the colour rendering. Most LED lights are known as Cool White (CW), this is the ice white, to blue white most people associate with LEDs. The trouble is, CW doesn’t render colours all that well and especially outside, it will make things look like they have less colour saturation and make everything a little bit grey. In a grass field or somewhere with trees this can promote more eye strain and is simply harder to ID certain items. A Neutral White (NW) light might be a couple of lumens less output (not enough to notice in reality), but will offer a much more natural light that will make colours more vibrant and realistic, if you are searching for items in grass and brush areas or in fields, then I would highly recommend NW. Although maybe what you need to do is buy something CW and something NW so you can see the huge difference first hand.
