I think they should effect camber since the shocks will drop more and it means to get alignment.

not really, atleast it hasn't happen to my wifes saturn. she blew the strut and has been driving like that for over a year, along with no alignment for over a year and the tires are good, no signs of premature wear.

The springs/coilovers are much more likely to screw up the ride height and therefore camber.
A blown shock just removes the dampening and added resistance to shock, the spring is where most of the weight is carried on. An old bent/sagging/cut spring may cause this, but a blown strut will likely have a minimal effect on your camber.

most likely the whole time you had a bad alignment. get the alignment then find a way to save up for some struts. mow some yards if you need to!
