Hey, does anyone know where I can get some foam rubber sheeting (you know like egg crate foam, but flat)?
I know of a place online, but it's gonna cost me like 60 bucks for what I need. That's more than I can afford right now. I'm looking for as cheap as possible, if not free. Even a good dumpster is fine.
I need some sheets of a decent size in about 1/2 in thickness.
I know this doesn't sound bike related, but it will be...

Yes, it will be bike related, and F.U.N. related too...
Seriously if anyone can help me find some of this stuff, I'd be grateful.

Try fabric stores. Often times they carry foam for upholstery-making.
(if that doesn't work, try to find a upholstery repair/DIY store, if they exsist)

I have a piece of batting for upholstering furniture that is 4’ x 8’ x 1 1/4” if you want to come all the way to El Segundo. Or I can probably get it to the start of Angelopes.
