Find a different place to buy them from.
Here in Australia I can buy barbs for at most around $4 US each, or I can get them for under $1 US each. It all depends on where you shop and how much they are ripping you off.
Barbs of the normal kind (circular, lathed and threaded) cost around 20-25c US each to make. Keep that in mind when deciding how far you want to bend over the barrel at the checkout counter. If they're charging you $5 US each, then tell them that you expect a kiss, a box of chocolates, and some flowers before you'll willingly subject to being ass-raped on the price.
