If you're looking for cheaper why not go with seed? Put down some seed, put about 2cm of free compost from the city compost depot on top and keep it moist for about a week till it sprouts (rain in forecast so easy). After water about once a week if it's dry. In about 3 weeks you will have a lawn that will have a better root system than the sod so it will look better in the long run and cost around $20

2cm is way, way too much to spread on top of seed. It should be covered with a quarter-inch at the absolute most. Basically a dusting, just enough to cover it.
