Totally agree, I would replace them first and I am also a cheap S.O.B.! This is case where a steel biner would be a better option!!!

Good comment from Malcolm Daly
... I'll add one thing here and say that worn carabiners at the top or crux draws are usually worn in a radiused profile and are less likely to wear to a sharp edge. First bolt and out-of-line draws, however, are almost alway worn in a manner which leaves one or two sharp edges. Also, don't be lulled into complacency by steel. Sure, it will take longer to wear that aluminum, but it will wear regardless. Check all your "fixies".
I never worry about routes with fixed gear cause if has fixed gear on it means I can't climb it. HAHA.
