I usually get mine from a local concrete, block, etc supplier. The last I got was about a year ago and a 100 lb bag of BX12 or BX30 either one was five dollars and change. I see where the other posts suggest getting regular "sand" and drying it to use. That may work in some areas but it will depend on the makeup of the sand. Be careful if you try it because some sands have small clay particles, etc in the mix and these particles will leave residue on the blasted part that will screw up your paint. I learned this the hard way when I first started doing blasting work. I ran out of blasting sand one weekend, when I had a job promised out for Monday, and tried using an "alternative" sand. I wound up having to totally reblast the part to remove all the residue before I could even prime it.
