I'm doing a cheap kitchen. I was going to go with a glass splashback, but somebody suggested acrylic. I know Bunnings sell it by the sheet. Has anybody tried it?

They look good however, it will scratch easily so I would not use it in my home. However, if you intend to renovate and sell then it will look good.

Acrylic sheet is over $250 a piece, it's very expensive. Also as others have said, it cannot be used behind gas cookers (not sure about electric cookers either, better check) so you'll be putting in either tiles or stainless steel splash back behind the burners which is ~$150 for 600 mm wide from Bunnings.
Tiles are good value for money in comparison even if you get a trade to install them.
If you want less joins then get 600x300 or 600x400 tiles, there are even bigger sizes too. Only a couple needed to do a whole kitchen.
Who runs knives over their splashback?
Do it depreciator. I haven't used it but I've checked it out and it's really good bang for buck! They don't do lime green but there is a good fluoro blue.
Like any acrylic you should be able to sand the edges to get a smooth finish I imagine.
BTW if you are looking for cheap then there is nothing wrong with paint. In fact chalkboard paint would be rather cool.
