Thrifty, Frugal, Provident, Sparing, Parsimonious, Stingy, Miserly , all these meant the same thing , but describe different behaviours.
And excerpt from a online article i read recently explains all that.
" The English language is rich with words to describe personal economic behavior. There are words people use when they're happy that you're not spending too much: thrifty, frugal, provident. There are words people use when they're not so sure: sparing, parsimonious. These are the words people use when they're unhappy that you're not spending more: stingy and miserly.
The fact is, though, that these words work pretty well for marking the dividing line between normal behavior and crazy behavior."
