"If the price of a track nut is too much to swallow just get flange nuts"

One piece flanged would do the job and if it comes down to it that's fine. There are quite a few bikes at the Co-Op that would've been just a little nicer with free spinners, but c'est la vie. If I posted an online source that offered them for 50c a piece, all the grinders here would buy from there instead of their LBS yet they'd never admit it. Guys on bike forums will go to extreme lengths (and pay for it!) to save a few grams yet pose a legitimate question on saving money and it's heresy. But, I'm going to drop it because the time I'd spent here responding was more valuable than any potential savings on a fastener. If I manage to find an alternative source I'll take the time to post it for those who were actually interested. Thanks y'all.
