I have a few DIY projects in mind that need some rigid non-metal sheets that I can easily cut, drill holes in them.
- Lexan would have been a perfect choice, but it is a bit expensive.
- Plywood is not as strong as Lexan.
- The sheets I need do not have to be transparent or good looking.
- Metal is not an option so it is safe for electrical DIY projects
- All I need a sheet with tough and strong material.
What are more cost effective alternatives to Lexan?

You could try ABS plastic sheets. In 1/4 inch thick panels is it very rugged and quite rigid. ABS drills very nice as well.
For a comparison look at these choices from Amazon:
ABS 12"x24"x0.236" Black - $12.20
LEXAN 12"x24"x0.250" Clear - $27.28
