Sometimes it's expensive to be frugal. For example, you can buy inexpensive boots and replace them more often or you can spend more and get good quality and replace them less. Also, it takes money to go to the dentist for cleanings and check ups. The trade off is that issues are caught early and cost less to fix. I've heard the saying "stepping over dollars to pick up dimes". I try not to do that.
