tying your own might not save you much money, but it defenitely gives you more bang for your buck.  Lots of jigs in stores are basic things that look good dry, but when wet are just too sparse.  It's defenitely worth it being able to make your own custom fllies and jigs.  And they don't have to get complicated at all!  Simple ones work just as good as extravagant ones.
btw, a good STRONG pair of hackle pliers is a must for any fly tying.
