Cheap Wet/Dry Sump Media

[Astus]

Hey I'm looking for some cheap media for a 10gal I have that I will be using as a sump. Ive seen some circular "Scour Pads" or "Pot Scrubbies" In other peoples threads;
Like these in MeAko's 1000 Gallon Indoor Pond Build

But Being out today in a few stores I couldn't find any for the life of me. Does anyone know a store that carries these? Either a store like Wal-Mart or somewhere online.
Also, is there any other media that's cheap and functions well? This is for bio media, I plan to be running a filter sock for mechanical filtration.
Thanks A lot guys. I've been out of the hobby since I first joined this site but I've gotten bitten by the bug once again

If you're running it submerged, there is better media. Is it for a wet/dry or just to go in the sump?

As others have said, the Dollar store, but I've noticed them getting more expensive lately. I just topped off my w/d and had to pay 3/$1 after getting 6/$1 as recently as a few months ago.

i went to all the dollar stores in my area and could not find these in any larger packs of two and they would only have about six packs. i guess ill have to go to every single store and buy them out?? can you buy them online on somewebsite?

Thanks for the input guys, looks like I'll be heading out to the dollar store in a little while
Also, anyone have a cheap source for bioballs? I'm thinking of running some Bioballs ontop of the Scrubbies.

I'm gonna be running it with either pegboard or spraybars in a Wet/Dry.

I have a 29g sump for my 90g NA/SA tank and I used three bags of lava rock - one for each chamber. Haven't had a single problem. Been going on 2 (3?) years now.

Forgot to add: I put the rocks in small plastic garbage can and then drilled holes all over them for water to flow through and around. That way, when I do need to maintenance, I can either just pull out the can of rocks and rise or whatever.
