Any suggestions?
Thanks as always.

Well, the technique is out of favor with the advent of plastics, and many here will jump all over me for even suggesting it. However, you certainly can start and pot loads of seeds cheap, cheap, cheap.
Just make home made paper pots. You do it by wrapping a layer of newspaper around a cup or can and "molding" the bottom. It is surprisingly easy once you get the knack of it.
Paper pots
They even have a
paper pot maker at
Burpee in North America or
seedaholic if you are in Europe. Sorry I don't know who might make them down under.
