Due to its weight, a 25kg bag at some local store is cheaper than a 1kg bag online. I'm in the US, and you can get aquarium sand on Amazon, maybe you can too. But I strongly recommend against it, when I checked a 25kg bag of sand is about half the price of a 0.5kg bag online. So buy the big one and dump the leftover.

You can try a pet store. Some of the sand for reptiles should be pure quartz or silica and might come in smaller bags.

As Robin Hood examined the small bag of plunder, he learned a Life Lesson: Never steal from the rich when they’re out walking the dog.
