If you are after the "T" shaped clips then I wish you the best of luck. They are like Unicorn sh*t as I found out 18 months ago.
I would suggest an alternative of the same size from eBay - search for Subaru Trim Clips.

Have you tried cross reference/ see if any other marque looks the same / - also have you contacted the breakers on here / they must have bucket loads

I got some from the local car accessory shop but not sure which car they were for but the shop had boxes of various clips to choose from and i got some similar to the subaru ones and they did the job.

Could you not go to a scrap yard and pull some off front bumpers and arch liners from other cars??
Don't all manufacturers use the same kind of design clips??
A couple of the white door card clips snapped on me, ripped a door card off a Citroen at a scrappers and bobs your uncle, cost couple of quid.

Unless I'm missing something, those prices are NOT per clip.
As a test, I put one pack of 10 of the 'boot carpet' clips into the basket, and the total cost is the £2.49 as stated (and not £24.90).
In fact, I think I'll buy them, as I'm sure at least one of mine is missing!

If you cant afford £2.49 for 10 you shouldn't have an Impreza
