Wheat & Maize will give you a lot of bait for not much money.

Just a thought.
Remember not to load up areas with cheap particles where the carp or bream may not be, as you will end up with loads of rotting bait on the bottom.

Chicken or poultry corn is probably one of the cheapest at around £10 for 25kg.

As long as there is no whole maize in there you can simply pour boiling water over it in a bucket and seal the lid for 24hours.
However, it does provide more attraction if boiled for 15minutes after soaking.

Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
