I would check locally first since its likely to be cheaper than online retailers.

theres a HUGE metal supply wearhouse over just past burbank airport maybe 15miles... a long time ago i grabbed a almost plywood size sheet of some aluminum and i have been using it for projects for a long while... only cost like 30 bucks but that was back before gas went skyrocketing... so its probably like 60-80 bucks now.

12"x12"x.05" 1100 series Aluminum.

Or just go to http://www.mcmaster.com/ and search for aluminum alloy 1100 and it will come right up and you can select your sizes.
