Order crickets online. You can get a lot of them. Get smaller ones and they will live a long time. You can get 250 or more. Keep them in a large rubbermaid container (no lid--they need lots of air and can't climb out). Use papertowels on the bottom, a few cardboard rolls or egg crates to hide in, a dish of gutload (not the gel kind) and a shallow water dish. I order from reptilefood.com or premiumcrickets.com.

Leopard geckos can be fed wild insects, crickets and also 'sweepings' (insects caught by sweeping a net through long grass). A varied diet is good for them, and this would be cheaper for you.
But, if you are going to do this you need to be sure you are catching them in places that haven't been sprayed with insecticides - as it can be harmful to your gecko.
Hope this helps.

no, because u dont know if they have been exposed to pesticides or any other dangerous substance, therefore, I would not suggest it.
