Go to Winners
Go to Random Exercise Equip Section
Find $10 Foam Roller
????
Profit

You really don't need a 'foam' roller so much as anything round that you can use to roll/stretch out (as previously mentioned, PVC pipe, lacrosse ball, tennis ball, etc.)

Don't spend much on it (tbh $30 is like 300% overprice).

Pvc pipe
Field hockey ball
Lacrosse ball
Cheap firm foam roller

Rolling is awesome especially for the glutes, quads, upper back. Unfortunately I don't make enough (or any) time for it.

Not paying $30 for a roller.

Will get a lacrosse ball and try that out, or pvc pipe.

30$ for an investment that lasts forever and will help your mobility and prevent future injuries. seems like a no brainer.
