Here are some places I have found on the web. I don't know if they classify as inexpensive, or if you can order individual poles (most are sold by the bale) but it's a start.

if you got a pier 1 around

yes or cost plus sometimes has bamboo too. (I've even seen it at Michaels Art supply)
Maybe you can order them off of the Pier One site?
Here are the other sites:

http://butlerbamboo.com/poles.html
http://www.bamboobridge.com/bampolepage.htm
http://www.bamboofencer.com/poles.htm

I don't know it they do mail order bamboo, but their warehouse is full of it (and everything else tiki):

I hope this helped in your quest
