The term "bandwagon" often has a negative connotation, much like the term "fair-weather fan" for sports. I actually think it's great that so many people are finding frugality as something that helps you live a better life and feel good about doing it. The more celebs that spread the word the better as they seem to be role models for so many, for better or for worse.
