as Sandy pointed out: get them used! These regularly come up cheap used around here. I got a set of bars free + I regularly find the feet for about $20/set... same for the bike carriers, except, the newest ones might only save you $50 or so each... usually look pretty much new. I even got a SAAB bike carrier (big mouth style - personally I prefer the sidearm) for maybe $70... the wind fairing is less common used, but be warned, the pads wear at your paint (where it touches the roof)...
I did originally spend a gazillion $ on new Thule stuff... after you drive into the garage a couple times with a bike on the roof, you learn to get used racks ;-)... I've mangled 2 of them now... (fortunately saab roofs are tough - I don't recommend testing that though - it is a gut wrenching experience! I'm getting a hitch rack this year... better aerodynamics + gas mileage anyway! those don't come up as often used unfortunately...)
