I completely understand! For all my lessons in student teaching, I have bought all my materials. This is not cheap, especially while being a college student. Often your CT will have supplies, or the school, but it's your place to ask so it seems. I don't feel like I have that relationship with my CT to where I can request things, even though she asks if I need anything (the day before when I have had the lesson long prepared).
I have been fortunate to have gift cards to places like Target and Hobby Lobby, which have helped. However, you might find some items of use at a resale shop for cheap. Also, I have heard many of my professors say that if you go into places (Home Depot, Hobby Lobby [for scrape pieces of fabric]) and explain you are a teacher and what you need for your lessons, they may be willing to donate some items. I'm sort of scared of being turned down, but if you feel confident, try it out!
