Agreed, but its lke two for one beers at the local watering hole. Sure me and my buddy could go there and have one each, my treat today his next time; what will happen is we each have two.
Technically we aren't saving a dime, just having twice as many sips. But while I don't have a hard $73.26 limit to spend on this hobby this month, I, and I think everyone does have some self-imposed limit on what they spend for anything. If you don't mind the extra effort, or if it's fun, reloading lets you do more shooting for the same coin.
And that is saving money in a sense.
