can i use bog standard 50mm polystyrene sheets as insulation between the rafters of my roof? It is a 1/3 price of the foil backed insulation but i don't know if it will do the same job. Can anyone help?

1/3 the price because it is about 1/3 as efficient! or you will need to use at least 3 layers to get the same result.

Even with the likes of Kingspan & Celotex you will have to use it both between and under the rafters unless they are at 600 cts inwhich case you will still need something like 150mm of celotex tuff-R to give a 0.2 U value
