Brazing on the cheap

So, I've brazed a couple racks in the past year using a BernzOmatic TS800, http://tinyurl.com/9yk32w2, with MAP gas and 45% silver/white flux. I would like to redo them or maybe make another.
The problem is, of course,the high cost of silver - I think I've been paying $54/Oz.
Can I get away with using brass or bronze filler?
