Default Am I being 'el-cheapo'? (metal related)

I own about 80 tomato baskets. These are the conical wire supports that

experience failure by having one of their welds break. I segragate them and
eventually they meet with my OA welding torch and get a new lease on life.
SWMBO says I should simply buy new baskets. Most of them are at least 20
years old, back when you could buy them for $ 0.50 each. I refuse to pay
$1.79 and up for new ones. Cheap? I would rather spend the money on
welding gas.

sounds like a good fix- it's not hard, expensive or time consuming.

the new ones are probably complete garbage too.
