Calling somebody frugal is just a nice way of calling them cheap!

OK, seriously, frugal seems more like someone being thoughtful & conscious about their spending without taking it so far that they're offensive or embarrassing ... Cheap is spending so little money that you're offensive and/ or embarrassing.

That's my 2 cents ... oops is that being cheap?
