If you think panniers will cost money - better budget for what it'll cost for food, water and accomodations on your cross country venture. You'll need several meals and snacks every day as well as a place to sleep and wash up. Some things can be managed with a park bench and a convenience store - other things can't. Whatever you carry in your panniers is supposed to reduce your overall expenses as well as provide an alternative for when there's no park benches or convenience stores. Whatever you end up paying for sone panniers - suggest you start looking at them as one of the items that will likely be the LEAST expensive.
