The cheapest option is to make it yourself. Keep an eye out for renovations or demolition around town, then either speak to the workers and ask politely for a cutting-board sized slab of discarded wood, or raid the skip when no-one is there.
If you’ve got a saw, a planer and a sander you can make one up in about an hour. Then just treat it a handful of times with cooking oil and you’re good to go.

Pick one.
Don’t forget your health if you grab a piece of lumber that’s been treated in any way.
Or even if it’s some exotic toxic hardwood like purpleheart.
That’s completely idiotic, you don’t know what’s been on that wood.
