I wondered about some cheap lawn grass seed.
I suppose you want a fast growing annual thay gets dug in before it
has chance to drop any seed.

What type did you buy?

The only stuff I could find locally wasT&M, hence expensive. *Mostly
Italian ryegrass plus a few other odds and ends.

Sounds like a way of selling grass seed at a premium. I'd be inclined to
just plant some ordinary grass seed then dig it in.

I wondered about that.
