I got a few misprinted election signs from a local sign shop's scrap pile, and I believe others here have done the same.

So, find a sign shop, go in, and ask if they have any scrap coroplast. They'd probably be happy to give you some.

Yes, and you can also buy whole 4'x8' sheets from sign shops for $15-20.

The signage at most gas/convenience stores are coroplas.
I get lots from a local store that just through it out after the promotion or sale has ended.
The pieces aren't huge,
generally 3x4 feet or so,
but it has been a great source for these and other projects
at no cost.
