Go to your local tyre or tire store and ask them for some discarded wheel weights (lead.)

Put the wheel weights into your pouches or pockets.

I would assume that my "cents" would pack tighter than odd tire weights and would therefore be smaller and more streamlined than a tire weight pouch of the same weight, even accounting for the fact that lead is 25% denser than copper.
 
Now that we've saved a small fortune on weights, how can we economize our regulators? Perhaps a bellows and a garden hose.
