Perlite - $6 per 4 cu.ft.
Horticultural Sand - $12 per cubic yard
Scoria - $21 per cubic yard
Sphagnum Peat Moss - $17 per 4 cu.ft. compressed bale, expands to 8 cubic feet
Worm Castings - $175 per cubic yard

And for wholesale soil mixes:
Sunshine General Purpose 1.5 cu.ft. bag - $9
Sunshine #2 4 cu.ft. compressed bale - $23
A1 Soils "Garden Soil" - $40 per cubic yard.
