I've been doing some reading and have seen packed dirt (probably costs most here than concrete) as an option but nowhere have I seen whether using an anchor in sand is the same as using one in clay/loam when it comes to real stability. I've taken out some posts that were coated heavily with concrete; it took some work but I did it. (I've never been able to budge one set likewise in real dirt.)

I ask because my neighbors, the hicks (and I use that term properly) next door, decided to insult me (yippee!) by installing a very pretty fence on their side of our chainlink which means I can take down the shabby garbage the former owners put up to fence in their wolf dogs. I plan to recycle it to the back of my lot line inside the existing chain link. I'll know if they used anything other than digging a hole when they set the poles when I remove it.

Know that I'm not expecting my fence to last for eternity and that if it's a bit wobbly it doesn't matter; I'm attempting to deter armadillos (stop laughing--I want to try) and perhaps other critters that sneak through the disappearing wires.

Before you giggle at a girl question like this know that I drove my truck in my backyard today where I slipped and slid in my "yard"...er, grass covered beach that I do mow as needed.
