I like the cheap Jobe's organic seed starter mix. If you are near a Lowes you can pick it up for around $5 a bag. Can get it for less at some retailers, I think i paid $3 for my last bag. The Miracle grow seed starter mix is pretty much the same same thing and is a good alternative. Once you get past the cup stage and are ready to pot them, Fox Farms happy frog or ocean forest are decent cheap bags of dirt.

Did not consider your country of origin. Coco coir is the base of the seed starter mixes I mentioned above. If not available where you are, basic dirt with some perlite, sand, and or gravel added for drainage. As herb & suds indicated, make sure there are no added chemical fertilizers in the medium you choose. Many bagged potting soil mixes contain slow release nutes. If all you can get is bagged potting soil with slow release nutes, look for one with the least amount of nutes. :)
