Do not know of any cheaper. You can use standard bolts which are cheaper. Just do not tighten them the last 90 degrees like with a stretch bolt.
Just some considerations. The bolt gets it name because it stretches when tightened. The neck will narrow as it stretches. This will weaken the bolt a bit. You might get by with reusing the bolts once, but twice is just asking for problems.
