You are lucky in that the wheels are already true. That means you can get away with buying 3 spokes and just replacing the ones that are loose or bent. Take a wire cutters and cut one of the loose spokes somewhere in the middle. Work the spoke out of the hub and take both pieces to your LBS. They can match the length of the spoke with a new one. Cost will probably be under $5. Last time I bought a couple of spokes it was $1.25 each.
