Low Budget?
EF 50mm ƒ/1.8 II
good for street photo and portrait. if you just want the person to be in the shot. other wise you will have to stand a bit of distance. this lens give you awesome shallow depth of field. meaning lots of blurry back ground.
$ Cheap !

bit wider and awesome for street photos as well. good depth of field.
$ Cheap !

Good all around Travel Lens. Depth of field in the mediocre level.
18mm give you wide angle. for landscape photo i would choose a wide angle lens and focal point number as low as 18 at least. 135mm give you semi telephoto. i normally wouldn't pick this one but you said you have low budget. this lens is a Kit lens for 60D and 7D. meaning you can maybe find a cheap used one.
$ If you have work this shouldn't be hard to afford.
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/pr…note that because you have a XTi, a APS-C size (cropped) sensor. All the lens you have will have a to multiply the focal length by 1.6. for example 18mm = 28.8mm. and 50mm = 80
and future investment wise. if you plan to get a full frame camera. Don't get lenses that has "EF-S" in their name. it means that it's only for APS-C sensor camera. and full frame camera wouldn't really work with these lenses.
If you can, try to buy the L lens. their value drops slower. in case you want to sell them later on.
