Flies Fishing

What does the size of fly-fishing flies mean. Example; “Sizes 10-22″ How does 10 differ from 22? Thank You!

I’m looking to purchase fly-fishing flies on line, but I don’t know what size to buy. Do you know of any sites that sell inexpensive flies? I’m too dang cheap to spend over 60 cents on a fly when usually I snag it in the grass behind me. I’m a beginner but getting better. I’m on a tight budget too. Thanks for you help!!
