Sand timers

Just a quick question does anyone know anywhere cheap & reliable to buy sand timers? All the ones I'm looking at are about £10 and I want 10min, 5min, 1min so could do without that cost. Any suggestions?

Hi
Does it have to be sand timers? I use cooking timers....admitted my son gets so wise he moves the timers on and the sand ones he just kept turning them over again! Cheeky Monkey! -
Maybe ehow or wikki how for how to make your own sand timers from old pop bottles
Or place a line/marker on end time of a real clock or a number eg 16.20 to match a digital clock
Or try Amazon for cooking timers (but some buzz when they are done )
Check in your house :we have a digital timer in our hot wheels set and sand timers in lots of our games

Thanks for the suggestions. In the end I brought a set of 5 cheaper ones here & 1 10min large one. http://www.crossboweducation.com/sand_timers1.htm
Will see if it helps.
I think it did need to be the visual ones. I like the stronger big ones but I can't afford a few of them but I think these may work. -
The sandtimes have arrived. They are great and working well. The 10min one is much better but I am happy with all of them.
