you cant get cheap foam blocks. Your best bet would be going form some old couch cushions or pillows or random pieces of foam.

this the normal blocks that are used in foam pits are mad expensive just search the free section of craigslist for couches and cushions and stuff then just tear them apart that's really your best bet

that could work too. to save on money make the foam pit a tiny bit small maybe like 13X13X5. maybe even 4 feet deep. when you land perfect in them you go down to like your stomach maybe lol. well from a trampoline

Contact your local gymnastics place if they have a foam pit, usually they sell their blocks relatively frequently if your down to get used they that just e will to pay a lot for legit gymnastics foam cubes

when they build foam pits at gymnastics places they usually have a trampoline bed underneath, so at least put some solid mats at the bottom so youll be okay going deep.
