a 3tb external HDD runs about 130$ http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-466-_-Product

Or if you are computer savvy you could always add more internal HDD for raw storage. a 5400 RPM HDD runs about 40$ per TB of memory. which is all you would need for basic mass storage.

Well, decided did not want any of the bulkier drives, that also require separate juice.
Went with a 1T Seagate 3.0 USB.
Got a great sale price on it.
Put it to use already.

I figure by the time I fill it and need another, 1T will be like buying bubble gum price wise.

I have a 160G on my MacBook now with 2 RAM that I had upgraded myself from 1.
Thinking of new, larger hardrive and doubling RAM again.
Any suggestions on which will work for hard rive for my 13" black MacBook?

These days most drives that have the proper form factor and interface connector should work. You could always check a large mac vendor like macmall or someone to see what they offer for drive upgrades and see what brand and model number they are using.

You can check what your maximum memory capacity, how the banks are installed, the memory type/speed and pricing at www.crucial.com just by going through their system selector.
