I think you will save a lot of money investing in good zooms.
I like primes because of their compactness and sex-appeal. It has nothing to do with image quality. Old zooms are terrible compared to primes, but I'm simply amazed how a consumer zoom these days will stack up to sought after primes.

The funny thing is, the few pros i know all encourage me to spend as little as possible. I'm not great at listening but it has not done me any favours.
My friend, who is just a stunningly talented guy, takes most of his best shots with a canon 50mm f1.8. and he makes it sing. go figure. (ps not an arguement for primes, more an argument that you can make a cheap lens look very expensive, and vica versa).

If you want your dollar to go the furthest I don't think you can beat a zoom like the 16-45, or the tamron 17-50 if you need the speed.
You can always supplement a slower zoom with a cheap 50mm when you want low DOF.
