    I use clear round trays from the Dollar Store! Lots of inexpensive options there!

    Becky....My kids had frisbees and I have spray painted them and used or covered with foil? As long as it will catch the overflow ... it works for me.

    I am not sure what you need as plant saucers, Becky, but if you need them to put underneath potted plants, here are a few ideas. I use terra cotta saucers that come for about $1. Then also, the 2nd hand stores have inexpensive plates that can look real charming at several for $1. Also, sometimes I use what I have around the house of extra or mismatched plates. Then I found some plastic ones at 4 for $1 at Walmart in their summer end sales. I hope this gives you some ideas.

    Thanks so much everyone. DesertRose: Yes, I need them to put under potted plants for water overflow. Although I appreciate all ideas and suggestions, I'm trying not to go out and buy something to use. I'm looking more for creative ideas of things I can use that might be laying around the house already. I've used plates before, even an old skillet that was no longer used for cooking. Hadn't thought about using a frisbee!
