Default Newbie he Where to get metal cheap?

Just got a chinese mini mill and want to play with it. Any hints on where
to find scrap metal to work with like aluminum? I looked online and found a
2" x 2" x 6" piece of aluminum and it was around $90. That's a lot of money
to spend to make an ashtray.

So, if you have any ideas how I can have fun with my new hobby and not go
broke I'd like to hear.

Thanks,
Gary
