Can you substitute Silver Nitrate with another silver compound and get the same results, without the cost?

We did an argentometric titration while I was teaching introductory analytical. The $600 bottle of silver nitrate needed for one class cost more than makeup glassware and reagents for all the other labs combined.

I’ve always wondered how much money Chem departments burn through on Ag compounds. Obviously there are plenty of expensive non-metallic reagents and compounds used in any lab, but for some reason, I’m always conscious of silver’s cost.
