For quickie gaming figs, I came up with a great method years ago:

I went down to my local rock and ready mix construction outlet.   I took an empty plastic cool whip bowl with me.  I told the guy that I was going to do some landscaping, and I wanted to get a few samples of construction sand.   I'd have to "run it by the wife" of course.

I got a whole cool-whip bowl full of relatively fine construction sand.   For free.   And I've only used half of it to this day.  I attach it to the base with PVA glue (That's Elmer's to us here) or just wet paint.   Looks great!

Enjoy!

Similarly confession I often visit Wickes with a few large ziplock bags and help myself to samples of their product.
