Some people find it virtuous to make do with a lesser whatever. This can happen for a number of reasons, usually a very painful personal experience or a type of severe brainwashing (your parents convince you walking a mile to school is virtuous, so now you do the same). If you find yourself having an eloquent long winded discussion with such a person, explaining to them they aren’t saving money by foregoing the soda at a night out (it’s cheaper to buy water after all), looking around the menu for the best value, half of which they can definitely take home (at this point I start to wonder if it’s theater, and even if it is theater, you’d have to be sick to even take part in such theatrics), I don’t know, what’s there to discuss. You almost want to throw a wad of $500 at their face.
