You'd be surprised how inexpensive hardwood, true dimensional hardwood cribbing can be if you contact a local sawmill.  I'm in northern Illinois and we found a place willing to deal with us.  Only drawback is the hardwood weighs a lot!  We bought quite a bit extra as well, so we'll be good for many years to come is we lose or damage pieces.  Our biggest hassle was finding someone that had a large enough power saw to cut wedges from 4 x 4's.
