The best possible and cheapest way is to search for "coin shop near me". You can get straight forward bullion like the American Silver Eagle or pre-1965 "junk silver" coinage which is 90% silver. I'm actually a big fan of junk silver not only as a collector, but because if a collapse does happen, it'll be much easier to make purchases with small denominations of silver.
What about jewelry? Does that fall under junk silver? Hope so cause I have a knack for that stuff. Found a cool chunky bracelet marked 925 for $4 a few years back, was pretty psyched about that one.
Nothing wrong with some nice thrift store finds like that. I enjoy that myself. That stuff can be melted down to silver bars or rounds as well. But that's not the best way to go right now.
