And dont want to keep changing the flights over and over again during the duration of the stay and incurring all the fees.
What is your credit limit? You can book the return as a separate, fully refundable one way ticket and then refund it when you arrive in the US.

Of course, this raises two potential issues:
1) There is no guarantee that the one-way return flight will be affordable.
2) You have to be comfortable lying to the immigration officer about how long you intend to stay.
