A non-toxic water-based fog juice is an 80:20 mix of distilled water and high-quality glycerin. Accuracy is not important as it can vary from about 15% to 30% producing light smoke on one end and Halloween Hall of Horrors on the other.
Fog juice lists per gallon at Guitar Center for $26.99.
Coincidentally, it's almost the same price for a gallon of USP food quality glycerin from Amazon. Add four gallons of distilled water for less than four bucks and you've made over $125 in fog juice for a cost of $30. If you want to go berserk, you can get five gallons for $99 so that would make $625 in fog juice. That's probably about as cheap as you're going to get it without getting industrial.
Don't distill the water yourself as boiling it only concentrates minerals while the only pure (i.e. distilled) water boils off as steam. The minerals will remain but they are what you want removed. Distilled water is very inexpensive so it's pointless to go to great lengths to distill it yourself.
Glycerin is harmless and you could drink the fog juice without consequence because it's a food product (among other things). It's used as a sweetener in many products apparently. I don't see that as warranting it as safe to breath even if it's advertised that way, used millions of times, etc. The stuff is heavy in the air and there's no chance you can miss detecting it. Using it without ventilation is probably not a good idea.
If you just want to give it a better scent then there are various oils you can buy. I've never used any kind of scent but I'm thinking a reefer scent could be amusing. What's a cop to think, it comes from everywhere.
Note: this stuff WILL set off smoke alarms.
