Junkyard is the only place your going to find them cheaper, or buy yourself a parts car. BUt if your in an area that has rust you will not find a good set unless you travel down south to get some, ive seen better pans on cars sitting on the pan in the mudd in here in georgia than ive seen on cars being drivin up north. Gotta hate that salt.

The only way you might be able to save money is on a set of cheaper aftermarket floorpans from a body shop. IT will probably save you some money up front but from my experience with aftermarket parts they arent really worth the hassle. You usually end up spending a bunch of extra time getting everything to fit and trying to get stuff lined up right.

Take a peak at my interior thread, is it like that under your carpet??, you will need more than the pans, trust me on this one!!, hopefully it is not, Aftermarket floor pans are good if you are living where there is no salt, but if you do, they rot 2X as fast as OEM stuff. If you can have someone repair it for you, have them use heavier steel , and make sure it is sealed well. if rust is an issue in your area, just my 2 cents. good luck on your repair!!
