Wow, really?
You made two MASSIVELY incorrect assumptions. My post talked specifically about value, the word was even bolded. I grew up with the same lesson. I also grew up learning that there's no reason to spend money unnecessarily. For example, I could easily afford to replace every cable in my home theatre system with Monster cables but to do so would not be good value for money, so I won't. I'm not going to buy the +$100 Monster HDMI cable when I know there is no benefit to spending that money over a Monoprice cable, no matter what some silver-tongued salesman says about it. There isn't +$95 more value in a Monster cable.
You assume because some of us want to find a good deal on things that we're either cheap or liars. The answer is that we want good value for our money. Cheap would be buying something we know is unfit for the job, something that won't last.

Here I looked up frugal for you as I didn't use the word cheap.. Our ideas are probably the same you just misinterpreted my meaning. So my point stands either there are a lot of FRUGAL people here or liars
