I find that people in Israel ask this question often - you go to a store, and the store owner shows you a cheaper solution that what you had thought of buying. We call the plumber and he explains how we can do the job ourselves, and thereby save his fee.
Today, a lecturer came late to the course I attend. Her car battery died just as she was leaving her home in the Tel Aviv area to come to speak inYerushalaim. She said that she called a cab to take her to Yerushalaim, so that she could still give her lecture.
Once they were on their way, she told the driver what had happened. He turned around, and for 50 sheqel (for the ride, too), he recharged her car's battery. "Why should you spend the money?"
