could anyone recommend me a book which summarises a lot of the precalculus material which I can use as a reference. I don't have much to spend.
What is a budget-friendly reference for precalculus material?

An excellent book by an excellent writer. It contains all the mathematics one needs before attempting calculus.
It's not a dumbed-down book, so expect no easy exercises or funny cartoons. But you can learn a lot from it.

I used Principles of Mathematics by Allendoerfer and Oakley for precalculus studying. I found an older version online for about $10. You cannot go wrong with Lang, though.

I found one copy of this on amazon for £100, it seems that it is too old to find (I'm from the UK).
