I doubt it. With inflation and thousands of cargo ships circling ports of entry, this is probably as cheap as you'll find this season.
If you can only have one, and you have the room, get a tablesaw. It is way more versatile but also way more dangerous. Certain cuts require different techniques and if you get it wrong, the saw will probably claim some fingers. Watch a whole bunch of tablesaw safety videos and incorporate safety devices like push sticks and cross cut sleds and you'll be aware of the risks and how these devices mitigate risk.
That said, a tablesaw and a circular saw (I prefer a wormdrive) make the perfect combination. The circular saw takes the saw to the work as well as makes rip cuts of large sheet goods exponentially safer to perform.
A miter saw, imo, is more of a third tier luxury item, unless of course you are planning on doing a bunch of molding, then it will pay for itself in time saved.

It all depends on what kind of DIY projects you'll be doing. You may be better off starting with a circular saw if you'll be doing quick and easy cross cuts. If you'll be doing more accurate cross cuts or using longer stock, a miter saw is invaluable. If you just have smaller stock and need to rip/CC, get a table saw first. Personally, I have all 3 and use them for certain applications. I don't get the miter out if I have smaller and quicker cross cut stock but I don't use the table saw for 2x4 lumber and repeatable cuts. 1-2 quick cuts, circular saw, or for breaking down sheet goods.
