Go to your lbs and see if they have a set lying around. I was looking for risers, went into my LBS asked what used stuff was lying around and walked out w/ a free set of flat bars. Not exactly what I was looking for but it was FREE. Try that first.
EDIT: didn't read it all through. I'm lazy and only use cheap stems so I just gently pry it open to allow for larger bar diameter. Others will probably say its a terrible idea but I've ridden on setups like that for years, and know lots of others that have as well. No problems yet.
