 Not Breeding Crickets

I am getting a chameleon. I want to feed it crickets, of course, but I do not want to breed and raise crickets. What is the most practical way to supply my chameleon with crickets and also have the minimum mess and fuss with crickets? I live on a fixed income so just buying small amounts at the pet shop, at their prices, is out of the question. I know someone out there has a creative solution to my problem.

u can catch insects outside but they may carry parasites. If u do that dont feed it spiders they are dangerous. When i think of an answer to problem its always go back to RAISING INSECTS. If you consider to raise insects the BEST thing to raise i say is mealworms(no mess, no stink)basically feed it apples, oats, and carrots and play the waiting game.all u do is wait most of the time

seigal, he said its out of the question just buying them. He wants a way to get food for his pet without any mess or problems. The only way i can think of is just to raise them(mealworms are the easiest.

Best way is to raise roaches, they give live birth dont stink no mess and live for 2 years.....
