You can reuse plugs by cleaning them ....

Remove the plug. Hold the connector end with a pair of pliers. Grab a lighted butane or propane torch and heat the electrodes until they turn light grey/brown/white. Remove the burnt deposits with a soft metal brush (brass, copper).

There is an easier way Doc. Hold the spark plug between your teeth, sparky end in your mouth. Remove the female end of a heavy duty extension cord and strip the wires long enough to wrap around your wrists at least two times. Fill a baking tray with 1/2 inch of water and stand in it for a good ground (remove shoes and socks first). Plug the male part of the cord into an electrical outlet. The grinding of your teeth will remove all deposits (new or old) from the plugs.
