If money is tight keep the $70 in your pocket and see if your tires start to wear funny. More likely then not it will not affect your alignment.

A millimeter difference at the tie rod mounts will be hard to measure accurately but will certainly effect the toe settings......try two different manufactureers tie rod ends some time....they are't all preciesly the same either.....counting exposed threads will get you close but not dead on without an alignment....
Chew up your tires you are out for new tires AND an alignment.....
instead of just an alignment....sounds pennywise and pound foolish to not do it right.
Not to mention the fact that a minor misalignment issue will DRAMATICLY reduce wet weather traction.......think about that next time you take that dangerous looking turn in the rain....
