For more consumer info: Deciphering EN13537 Sleeping Bag Temperature Ratings The EN13537 ratings aren't perfect but at least are based on testing results rather than fiction made up by the manufacturer's marketing department.

If the bag is not EN13537 rated and is not made by one of the top makers (such as Western Mountaineering or Feathered Friends) which, with your budget, it won't be, then add another 10 degrees F to the temperature rating. Maybe even another 9-10 degrees F if you're a cold sleeper.
