have you checked marsh? cheapest way would be to buy used off of someone, otherwise i thik its about $20 for a 20-30lb bag. petsmart usually carries it and im sure city pets has some.

decide how deep you want the sand bed and you can see how many lbs you will need with this calc http://www.cichlid-forum.com/articles/calculator.php

I just got a 30lb bag of aragonite oolite(?) from petsmart for 19.99. They have a 15lb bag there of the SAME THING for 17.99....which is retarded. (I had to buy 1 30lb bag and 1 15lb bag cause I got the last 30lb one in stock @ the petsmart in Pasadena)

edit: and be sure to RINSE it......I forgot to rinse half of it and got a disgusting thick scum on the top of the water LOL!
