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.

Minimum order from Cope plastics is $100, that's 8 - 10 pieces 4x8 x 4mm thick or 5mm in black, look at the specal deals page, fluted polypropylene: I just ordered 13 pieces that I need to pick up.

Check local sign shops or glass outlets. The parent company may give info on suppliers. Also check industrial supply houses such as McMaster-Carr, MSC, or Grainger for materials such as honeycomb aluminum, polycarbonates, and ABS. Election season is coming up and signs are sprouting already
