I was certain someone asked the same, open ended question recently. I have done a quick search but the same thread I was thinking of did not return in the results. There are some recent threads where people discuss the cost of their kitchens, so these may give the OP some comparison to consider:

I'm not sure how much help the past threads will be other than to verify that the cost can be anything within a humungous scale.
But, we've spent about £13k in total, as moved doors, windows, removed a wall, new electrics, plumbing, heating, moved a boiler, new plastering, lights, decor. And my husband fitted the kitchen. So, if you are money saving, buy like for like. Or, I'd even look at repainting/replacing doors and/or worktop if cabinets in right place and good condition.
Whatever you choose, add extra to your budget, there's always something.
