Home Depot sells it for about $6 a sheet
This being said this is a very debateable addition. If you do however add it be prepared to see the ugly eggcrate on the bottom of your tank because of sand being moved but current and moved by sifters or whatever else.

I will agree that if something was to fall or whatever the eggcrate would increase your chances of not having a disaster, but if you stack your rock right the first time you should be okay. I have never had the problem of anything falling.

Before you make the decision really way your pros/cons - once the egg crate is in there its a PITA to get it out especially with your tank running.
