This is my system, too. I didn't get this lucky, but I did score them at $2 each on the clearance rack at Walmart. Just figure out how to use what you're able to find. For beads I use some plastic bottles that my dil gave me from when the baby was in the NICU. She would pump and freeze her milk to take to the hospital, but they didn't allow her to reuse the bottles, so they really stacked up quickly. When she asked if I could use them, I gladly said yes. Just make whatever you're able to get work.
