Frugality is a virtue, right?

Devin has been mowing lawns to earn money each summer for several years, and I think this may be one of his first pairs of work jeans.  He asked me the other day if I thought he should throw them away, and I laughed and said, "Yes, probably 3 years ago!" 
 He has a combination of red and grey duct tape and black electrical tape holding these scraps together to make a functioning pair of pants.  Inventive!
 I am a true believer in frugality.  I've always loved the saying, "Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without," but I think Devin may be taking this a bit too far!
