Answer 1

Check with walmart or target, they have good prices.  That camera will cost quite a bit. You could also try ebay. A good site to check is http://www.pricegrabber.com they will search the web for prices and if you put your zip in it will recompute with shipping costs. Read the descriptions carefully. Many of the lowest prices are for refurbished models.

I commend you for wanting to give some money to your mom. I hope you find what you want.

Answer 2

The D300 is out of your price range, even if you wanted to spend the entire $1000.  (Unless, of course, you have other money to put toward the purchase as well.)  I would suggest having a look at the Nikon D40 or D60.  You should be able to find the D40 with the kit lens for under $500 at a big box retailer or B&H Photo.  That will leave you quite a bit of funds for going back to school etc.

Also bear in mind, the camera doesn't take "good pix", YOU do!
