Yes, exactly what ktmarvels said. Sometimes, the best value isn't always the cheapest price. In fact, sometimes, frugal is to buy the highest quality possible, even if it costs more.
To me, frugality is also choosing to be a productive part of society, and not a parasite to one. For example, frugality also sometimes translates to minimizing your carbon footprint. On the other hand, cheap simply means to benefit at the expense of others, and with no regards to the environment as a whole.
