I've run a 23 - 25c labled tube in a 28c tire and I'm still alive to post this. 
And yes there are larger tubes.

Going up in size on tubes usually ain't a big deal.
I ran a 650c tube in one of my 700c fronts for over a year because it was in the 700 bin and I bought it by accident.

I had to do that too when I was out on the road. It just felt sketchy pumping up, but it worked

PricePoint tubes, 10 for $20.
That many tubes would last you like 4 years, longer if you patch them.

I run a 700x23-25 in a 700x28 tire right now. My LBS was out of the proper size and assured it would work. I've been on it for close to two months. At first, I didn't think it would inflate enough. I was wrong.
And the funny part is I went through five 700x28 tubes in four months. Go figure. Some of those blown tubes I attribute to radical, brief temperature changes.
