One of our linen shops have budget pillows just over $2 SA R15) which works out far cheaper than buying stuffing. These are standard bed pillows!
I also bought the 2 pk of pillows at Walmart for less than 5 dollars, lasted me a long time.
AC Moore has a 3 pound box for $33.55 if you need massive amounts...

I buy my small batches at Joann's or Hobby Lobby

Hope this helps.
I had a bit of luck at the Market. The lady who had the site next to mine couldn't sell a really big bag of bits and pieces of all types of wadding so asked if I would want it for $5. A bargain.
I haven't bought any for a while, but I bought a box of it at WalMart. I don't know if they still have it or not. They have changed so much.
I get mine at walmart too, but they don't have the boxes anymore, just big bags. good stuff
If you get the coupons or a good holiday sale I think Joannes is hard to beat. I do have friends who garage sale for pillows. they wash them in their machine and say they are fine.
I just told my hubbie that but you never know a cutie may have a better place to buy it!
