Alfalfa is inexpensive. Most pet supply places will sell it as a hay bedding for rodents, if you cant find it elsewhere. It is good for protein and vitamin K, among other things.
Dandelion leaves may grow free as a weed in your garden, if you have one. Good source of b vitamins, calcium, and more
Mustard greens and kale are inexpensive and good choices.
The occassional handful of raw sunflower seeds or sesame seeds are good and also not expensive. Providing magnesium, b vitamins and more.
If you can, consider sprining for a little powdered kelp. Its got good amounts of magnesium, iodine, calcium and more.

If you tell us roughly where you live (country and province or state) we might be able to suggest locally grown items.

My favorite to recommend is butternut squash - I read on the forum that it was high in calcium, and now I always have some in the fridge. Just buy one, it'll last for ages.........
