As Larry mentioned, the most cost effective is to buy a box of 32x40 foamboard and cut it yourself. You can get a large discount since there is no cutting labor and another discount for buying by the box instead of by the sheet.
My company does not currently sell foamboard by the uncut sheet but it is on my list of things to add to our website. Shipping is going to be a very significant part of the cost since the material is so inexpensive but bulky...almost as bad as shipping bubble wrap.
If you do not want to bother with cutting we sell Bainbridge 20x30 for $3.20 and if you get 10 sheets the prices comes down to $2.89 each. We are in Dallas so if you are in CA then it total cost for 10 - 20x30's would be $37.16 or $3.72 a sheet including shipping.
Cheers,
Mark
