Default Pets at home: wood shavings? Need to switch!

So, for the last 3 months I've been owning Remy. I've been purchasing pets at home: wood shavings. I knew that pine was unsafe (as well as other woods) but it never really crossed my mind until now to look into what the shavings are actually made out of.

And to my worrisome I found out they are pine! I want to change this asap but since I'll be switching over Remy to a detolf very soon within the next week, the bedding will probably arrive from amazon or something the same time the detolf is here.

The woodshavings are quite cheap, the ones I buy are £1-£3 for a medium bale and a deal of £5 for two medium bales at one of my stores.

Is there any substrate (I've been wanting to change the substrate to something softer and to hold burrowing tunnels better anyway) that is as cheap as that? If not a bit more expensive but for more kg?
