Look at it this way - your boa could easily live for 20 years or even longer. When you work out the price difference over that long a time, it's a few cents a month of cost extra over your boa's lifespan for an enclosure that is easier for you to maintain.
I hear you on the cost - I am the queen of couponing and I have Ramen in my desk at work for lunches.
