Honestly, the smaller a yorkie is, the more it is going to cost. That is just how most breeders work. Supply and demand. EVERYONE wants a really small yorkie, thus the prices are higher. If I were you and I were on this kind of budget, I would not limit myself to a yorkie under 10 lbs. Both my parents and my grandparents' yorkies (10 lbs and 12 lbs) are both small enough to ride in a handbag. AND they both go anywhere AND everywhere that their owners go! Also, being a on budget, the smaller yorkies are far more likely to have health issues to deal with than a larger yorkie. Especially if this dog is more for your hubby, I would definately get a bigger one. They are more fun to wrestle around with on the floor. Oftentimes the smaller ones are nervous and never want to play because everything is so much bigger than they are.
These are just some suggestions. Yorkies are such a great breed. You will be in love with any one you get, whether it is 3 lbs or 15 lbs! But in all honesty, you will be more likely to find a bigger yorkie in your price range than a smaller one.
