You're not going to find cheap clear full length wood anywhere anymore, doesn't exist, cedar or any other wood for that matter. Clear wood is expensive. If you want to save money you'll have to do as others have said and use shorter lengths, some including me prefer shorter lengths, and/or inferior woods.
