I forgot my minis for a session one day, but remembered to bring the Werther's originals. So we used soda tabs, beer caps, and Werther's for minis that day.
Honestly, this is more OG than most people realize. You're doing it right.
Coins, and even dice work in a pinch too.
I only have like 10 minis and the party I DM for is 5 people, so I use a lot of random stuff as minis. I'm slowly building a collection, but it's expensive lol
In many cases you don't need mini at all, it's rpg not a miniature game.
No mini nor battlemap gives more freedom to everyone (at the price of less tactical depth), and if you need a view on the situation, a whiteboard with a sketch + cross/letter does can bring you pretty far
