If I had almost no budget, I would not buy aero bars. Maybe I woulld buy my wife some flowers and thank her for understanding my addiction to this sport.  Or maybe I would buy some beer.  Who knows, I guess I would have to be there at that very moment in time to decide exactly.

The problem with aerobars is you can't just buy aerobars. If you scour ebay and craigslist you can probably find something for 50-70 dollars. But really do it right you need to get fitted. Aerobars don't make you aero they just make the aero position possible. In the fitting you may need a new stem and/or seatpost for proper position, aero-ness, and comfort!

so figure
50-70 for aerobars
100 AT least for a fitting
35 stem if needed
50 seatpost if needed

Of course, you can just get the aerobars and mess with the fitting yourself but it may not be fruitful.
