I mix pricey Cholula with super cheap La Botanera 1:2 or 1:3.  Cholula by itself can be a bit overpowering--not the heat, but the spices.  I don't do it to save money, but because it has great, balanced flavor.  I just bought some wings.  The butcher let me buy just the flats.  I got 8, and they are marinating in a solution of extra hot red pepper, salt, MSG and ING.  After 24 hours or so, I's naked fry them, and my wife will have hers plain, while I'll use my above mix with melted butter.
